2. Jesus is the fulfillment of the Passover
As we take the Lord's Supper...
We remember Jesus' body

We remember Jesus' promises

Psalm 118:21-22
I will give thanks to you because you have answered me and have become my salvation. The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

Live It Out:
As we take the Lord’s Supper,
1. We remember Jesus’s body
2. We remember Jesus’s blood
3. We remember Jesus’s promises
God is a loving and just Father. He must judge sin. He can’t just overlook or ignore sin. He wouldn’t be a holy, righteous God. Sin is what separates us from God. Sin is what leads us to death. Romans 6:23 says, “For the ways of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” Jesus pays for all our sin on the cross and what we receive in return is all His righteousness. He took on all our shame and He gives us all His grace. What a Savior!
Upon partaking in the Lord’s Supper, let us be reminded, encouraged, and excited to share what Jesus has done for us. You and I are to share the Lamb. “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation” (Mark 16:15). There are people in our city who have never experienced Jesus, the perfect lamb of God. Southwest Florida needs hope that can only be found in Jesus Christ. Who is the next person you plan to share the gospel with or invite to an Easter service? As we prepare our hearts for Easter, we should be searching for ways to share and show His love with others so they, too, can be invited into a relationship with Him!
