The Institution of the Lord’s Supper
This article presents the Lord’s Supper as a key moment, when Jesus transforms the Passover meal into a symbol of his ultimate sacrifice, announcing a new spiritual covenant for the forgiveness of sins.
Matthew 26.26-29 (King James Version) :And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
