1. The Lord’s Supper

2. Introduction
Mt. 26:26-30
1 Cor. 10:16

3. “Took bread & blessed it”
Mt. 26:26
Mk. 14:22 “and blessed”
LK. 22:19 “and He took the bread, and gave thanks”
“To bless means to give thanks” Bob Winton

4. In Reference To The Bread--Jesus “brake it”
Mt. 26:26
“And as they were eating, Jesus took bread and blessed it, (Gave thanks Lk. 22:19), and brake it, (Broke a piece off for himself) and gave it to his disciples, and said,

5. In Reference To The Bread--Jesus “brake it”
Take, (That is, take it into your hand), eat;” Gus Nichols

6. “Take Eat, This Is My Body”
The Lord's Supper--Some important considerations
“Take Eat, This Is My Body”
This represents my body
This was a common figure of speech which Jesus used in many other instances
Jn. 10:9; 14:6; 15:1
Transub. – false doctrine of
Worship, Lord's Supper

7. “Take Eat, This Is My Body”
The bread does represent the body of the Lord—it is bread before the prayer, after the prayer and while we eat it and digest it.

8. “The Cup”
Mt. 26:27
They were to drink the cup-meaning the contents of the cup
Mt. 26:29
1 Cor. 10

9. “The Cup” Jesus took the cup He gave thanks for the cup
He instructed the disciples to drink the cup
He did not give thanks for the container—He did not tell them to drink the container

10. “The Cup”
The cup for which he gave thanks and which he commanded the disciples to drink was the fruit of the vine
The Lord used the “cup” to signify that which it contained-the fruit of the vine

11. “The Cup” Now notice Mt. 26:27 & 29
The “cup” of verse 27 becomes “the fruit of the vine” in verse 29
“the cup” = “the fruit of the vine”-if we use the fruit of the vine (juice of the grape) we have one cup—regardless of the number of containers

12. “The Cup”
Metonymy = A figure of speech in which one word or phrase is substituted for another with which it is closely associated
White House = President
Bottle = strong drink
Count heads = count people
Washington = Government

13. “The Cup” “Did he enjoy his coffee? Yes he drank the whole cup.”
“The kettle is boiling”
Gen. 6:11---people
Jn. 3:16---population of the whole world

14. The Lord's Supper--Some important considerations
“Drink Ye All Of It”
Mt. 26:27
Does it mean to drink everything that is in the container you hold? NO
Mk. 14:23
“That is, let all of you drink it” Boles
Quote from H. Leo Boles
Worship, Lord's Supper

15. “Drink Ye All Of It” “All the persons, not all the wine” McGarvey
“Drink from it, all of you” NKJ

16. “For This Is My Blood” Mt. 26:28
“For this is my blood of the new covenant…” N KJ, ASV
This represents my blood
Gen. 40:12; 41:26
Gal. 4:24

17. The Lord's Supper--Some important considerations
