S – And he took bread, gave thanks, broke it, gave it to them, and said, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
20 In the same way he also took the cup after supper and said, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you
Luke 22:19–20 CSB
O – Lots of commentary on these two scriptures. One simple principle – Jesus establishes his determination to go to the cross. “Is given” and “Is poured out” both are present tense verbs. He is going to give up his body as a sacrifice and he is willingly going to allow his blood to be shed. He made his choice.
A – Communion is something that I hold with esteem. When Jesus tells us to remember, I am humbled and grateful for the cross. Jesus did it for me and you. I know all the things God redeemed me from in my life. I have much to be grateful for in his crucifixion and resurrection.
R – Lord, thank you for giving your body as my sacrifice so that I may be in a relationship with you. Thank you for shedding your blood as my sacrifice so I may be forgiven for my sins. You are my savior and my Lord. Thank you.
