Rev01ution: Communion

SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (NLT) 23  For I pass on to you what I received from the Lord himself. On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread 24  and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and said, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me.” 25  In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this to remember me as often as you drink it.” 26  For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord’s death until he comes again.  

BIG IDEA: The Old Covenant was started with blood sprinkled on the outside of homes (Exodus 12:22); the New Covenant is sealed with Christ inside our hearts. Both covenants are about the freedom to worship in the presence of the one true God.

QUESTIONS FOR SELF-REFLECTION:

• In what area(s) of your life have you let sin control (enslave) you?

• Do you believe that Christ’s sacrifice was enough to free you from the penalty of your sins?

• Do you believe that when you become a slave to Christ, the Holy Spirit gives you the power live in freedom from your old patterns of behavior?

• Humbly admit to God your sins, and thank Him for doing everything it takes to purchase your freedom. Remember the price--His only Son--as you participate in Communion.
