Study 25 - Redemption: The Lord's Supper/prediction of death
You can use this study individually, or in a small group. We have found it works well with between four to eight people as everyone approaches the stories differently and hearing other people's impressions really helps!
Step 1: Read the story
Read or listen to the following passage
Matthew 26:26–30
Institution of the Lord’s Supper
26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”
Jesus Foretells Peter’s Denial
30 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Step 2: Retell the Story
Take a few moments to retell the story in your own words. You may want to speak it out loud, or write it down. If you find you are struggling to remember it, read or listen to it again.
Step 3: Discover the Story
When you feel that you are familiar with the story, take some time to think over or discuss the following questions
- What does this story tell you about God?
- What does this story tell you about people?
- If this is really God's word, what changes would you have to make in your life?
- Who are you going to tell?
