“Final instructions” (Matthew 26:26-30)

What is the Lord’s Supper? What is the Passover? How does the Lord’s Supper and the Passover relate to each other?

In his sermon, Final Instructions (Matthew 26:26-30), Pastor Josiah D. Walker answers these questions and others as he unpacks the First Lord’s Supper from Matthew 26:26-30. In this section of Matthew, we see Jesus share instructions with His disciples on how He is establishing a new covenant between God and man. The covenant that Christ instituted replaces the covenant of the Old Testament that was established between God and the Israelites. Thankfully, this new covenant is not contingent on our ability to keep God’s commands but is based on God’s faithfulness to always forgive us of our sins.

Pastor Josiah also shares how when we take the communion together as a gathered body of baptized believers, it is meant to point us to the cross, remind us of Christ’s death, and show us that we are redeemed and rescued from our sins not based on our works, but on Christ’s substitutionary atonement.
