Unit 26 Session 2
THE COVENANT-MAKING PRIEST
MATTHEW 26
In the Lord's Supper, Jesus presented a picture of the sacrifice He would make on the cross and also affirmed that He would be victorious: His kingdom would not fail.
Jesus continued His march to the cross, but He stopped to celebrate Passover with His disciples. The time of His departure was near, and one among them would betray Him. Yet Jesus did something more than simply predict His death and resurrection - He performed the first Lord's Supper. Christians have taken the Lord's Supper ever since as a reminder of Christ's broken body and blood shed upon the cross. This signifies the new covenant between Jesus and His people, a promise sealed by Jesus' blood to save His people from their sins.
Points to consider:
✞ The Son of Man will be betrayed as part
of God's plan.
* How does God's plan of salvation reveal
His love?
* How do God's plan and our choices work
together?
✞ The Son of Man will be sacrificed as part
of God's plan.
* How does looking at the Lord's Supper
with fresh eyes change the way you
approach partaking of it with the church?
* How does the word "covenant" help us
understand the security found in Christ's
sacrifice?
✞ The Son of Man will be celebrated as part
of God's kingdom.
* Knowing you will see Jesus one day, how
does that encourage you daily?
* How do songs of worship impact your life?
