And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: Luke 22:14-15
Notice before Jesus was about to be crucified he expressed the importance of communion, in remembrance of what he was about to do for us all. And notice it says” Jesus has a desire to eat this Passover with us”. Jesus paid the ultimate price for us all because he has a desire to be our Savior and grant us eternal life.
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.Luke 22:17-18
When you drink the wine or grape juice at communion, remember this represents the blood of Christ. The blood he shed on the cross for all of us, the same blood that redeems us all and makes us new. The blood that has overcome hell and the grave and defeated Satan forever
And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Luke 22:19
Notice the bread he broke it for all of us, just the same his body was broken and sacrificed for us all so that we may all be redeemed. Jesus paid it all for us, Glory to the Lamb of God
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. Luke 22:20
The bloodshed by Christ created the New Covenant that has brought us closer to God more than ever. Jesus has made us white as snow and we can now be filled with the Holy Spirit, to have a personal relationship with our Heavenly Father in Jesus Name Amen
