The Passion of Jesus Christ!
Remembering and Proclaiming Christ’s Death! 1 Corinthians 11:23

The Sufficiency of Jesus’ Body and Blood! 1 Corinthians 11:23-32

1st We Remember The Night of Betrayal! V 23 (Matthew 26:20-75)

He Served His Disciples! John 13:5-17
He Prayed Under Enormous Stress:

Matthew 26:38 Then He said to them, My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me. 39 And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will”

He Was Betrayed, Denied and Abandoned!
He Was Arrested and Illegally and Secretly Tried!
He Shared the Passover with His Disciples and Instituted His Memorial Supper!

2nd We Remember the Broken Body and the Spilt Blood of Jesus!

The Body and Blood of Jesus Everything Changes! This is What the Supper Symbolizes

The Bread! This is My Body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me. 24

• The Body of Jesus Bore Your Grief! Isaiah 53:4
• The Body of Jesus Bore Your Sins! 1 Peter 2:21-25

John 1:29 Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!

The Cup! This Cup is the New Covenant in My blood: do this as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me! 25

• His Spilt Blood Forgives and Cleanse Us!

Matthew 26:28 for this is My blood of the covenant, which poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin!

• His Spilt Blood Redeems Us!

1 Peter 1:18-19 tells us that we were redeemed not with money, but with the precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.
Hebrews 10:19 tells us His blood gives us constant access to God for fellowship and help.

• We Overcome By the Blood of the Lamb!

Revelation 12:11 And they Overcame Him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.

3rd We Proclaim Christ Crucified!

1 Corinthians 1:22-24

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me an gave Himself up for me.

Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me!

4th We Examine Ourselves to Come to this Table in a Manner worthy of Jesus!

• We Examine Our Lives: Are We Living the Crucified Life?
• Are We His? Do We Belong to Christ?

2 Corinthians 13:5 Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; Examine yourselves. Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you unless indeed you faith the test?

• Are There Any Ongoing Practice of Sin in Your Life? Galatians 5:16-24

5th We Celebrate and Worship Our Great God!

Mark 14:26 After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
