Devotional #2

The Last Supper

Read: Luke 22:14-20

*For younger children only use the

questions in red in the Ask section, and then complete the Apply, Activity, and Pray.

Ask:

P What did Jesus say the bread represented in Verse 19?

P What did Jesus say the wine or juice represented that was in the cup in verse 20?

P Why did Jesus tell us to do this in verse 19?

P Why do we take the Lord’s Supper? (To remember what Jesus did for us when he died on the cross. He gave us his body and blood on the cross.)

P Who should eat and drink during the Lord’s Supper that we do at church? (Since drinking the juice, and eating the bread is a symbol of the Last Supper we believe that people who have become a Christian should drink the juice and eat the bread when we take the Lord’s Supper.)

For more information on Becoming a Christian see the

“Becoming a Christian Envelope.”

Apply:

• Point to each picture below and ask: What do these remind you of? Let every family member respond.

• Each picture reminds us of something special. That is what we are doing when we take the Lord’s Supper. It reminds us of the last night Jesus spent with his disciples.  When Christians participate in the Lord’s Supper it helps them to remember that Jesus told us he would die for us on the cross to make a way for us to go to Heaven if we accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

Activity:

• Place the pieces inside of this envelope on the wreath circle like the picture shows.

Pray:

• Pray thanking Jesus for dying on the cross for our sins and for modeling the Lord’s Supper. Ask him to forgive you of your sins and to help you make better choices that honor God.
