Aim: To begin to grasp the extent of Christ's atonement as it is represented to the church in the Lord's Supper.
Exegesis: The Lord's Supper has a future referent. We will always share it with our Lord (vv. 14-16) and with one another (vv. 17-18). The Lord's Supper has a past referent. The cross is the central (v. 19a) and vital (v. 19b) focus of history. The Lord's Supper has a present referent. Christ is our precious (v. 20a) and personal (v. 20b) Savior.
Key verses: vv. 19-20 ''And [Jesus] took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, 'This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.' Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.' ''
