The Last Supper

Read: Mark 14:22–31

For younger children, consider reading, “A Meal for the Ages” in The Biggest Story Bible Storybook (pages 408–411).

 

Reflect

As Jesus eats his final meal with the disciples before the cross, he uses the bread and the cup of the Passover meal as signs that signify what his death means. His body will be broken, given up for his people. His blood will be poured out for many and will ratify the new covenant between God and his people (Heb 8). Jesus’s body was broken, his blood poured out. And now through faith in him, we are heirs of promises of glory and hope beyond imagination. Come to Jesus today and remember his broken body and blood poured out for you and walk in renewed faith and hope in him.   

Reflection Questions:

1. What do these verses teach us about Jesus?

2. What do they teach us about our response to Jesus?

Listen to: “Behold the Lamb (Communion Hymn)” (Keith & Kristyn Getty)

 

Pray

Gracious Lord and Father, we praise and thank you for sending your Son for us, to be broken and bloodied on the cross for our salvation. Help us to remember his broken body and blood poured out that we might be strengthened in our experience of your abundant mercy. We ask that you would help us to walk in a renewed faith and hope in Jesus today and his sacrifice. Amen.
