There is a table that all Christians come to — the Communion Table. Jesus instituted this practice of breaking the bread and taking the cup as He reclined at a table. Sidewalk Prophets’ song “Come to the Table” calls us to “take our place by the Savior now.” I encourage you to do just that as we explore the Lord’s Supper.
Let’s spend some time in thoughtful consideration of all that the Lord’s Supper really means.
On this episode I discuss:
- Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture – this week’s Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include:

- Following the cross reference to Exodus 12
- God’s lasting ordinance – Exodus 12:24-28
- What we are to do in remembrance of Christ – Luke 22:14-20
- Where we get the word “communion” in Scripture – 1 Corinthians 10:16 (KJV)
- How “communion” means “union with”
- Writing down the details and my own emotional response to Christ’s sacrifice

This Week’s Challenge
Read in Luke 22 of the Last Supper. Learn more about the Passover meal by following the cross reference to Exodus 12. Keep reading in Luke to see the details of the sacrifice of our Savior and then journal your thoughts about the broken body and poured out blood for you. Then, the next time you come to the table let your thoughts bring you to a deeper place of remembrance as you carry out this ceremony until Christ returns. Do this in remembrance of Him.
