Sermon Tone Analysis

Read: vv.

“And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.”

INTRODUCTION: In His infinite wisdom, God looked into future centuries and saw that His people would be prone to forget Him in their pursuits of life.

Therefore He established certain ceremonies which would remind them of His grace toward them.

During the Old Testament period, the feast of the Passover served to remind Israel that God had delivered them from death in Egypt that they might begin a new life in the land of Canaan.

Just prior to His crucifixion, Jesus observed the Passover Feast with His disciples; at which time He dissolved all other facets of this feast except the bread wine, which He gave a new significance—to represent His body and blood as the sacrifice for sins to all who would accept Him as their Savior.

Paul says: “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace” ().

JESUS SAID, “THIS DO IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.”
