Dear Friends,

Are you like me? I just love the Lord’s Supper. It warms my heart, increases my gratitude, and increases my fellowship with the Lord. At the church I attend we celebrated the Lord’s Supper last Sunday and sang a hymn which says so much of what it means. Meditate on these word and see what God can use them to do for you. God bless you.

Because of Calvary,

John Janney

• Matthew 26:26-30 (ESV)

  26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” 30 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives

BEHOLD THE LAMB

“Behold the Lamb who bears our sins away,
Slain for us – and we remember

The promise made that all who come in faith
Find forgiveness at the cross.

So we share in this bread of life,
And we drink of His sacrifice

As a sign of our bonds of peace
Around the table of the King.

The body of our Savior Jesus Christ,
Torn for you – eat and remember

The wounds that heal, the death that brings us life
Paid the price to make us one.

So we share in this bread of life,
And we drink of His sacrifice

As a sign of our bonds of love
Around the table of the King.

The blood that cleanses every stain of sin,
Shed for you – drink and remember

He drained death’s cup that all may enter in
To receive the life of God.

So we share in this bread of life,
And we drink of His sacrifice

As a sign of our bonds of grace
Around the table of the King.

And so with thankfulness and faith we rise
To respond, – and to remember

Our call to follow in the steps of Christ
As His body here on earth.

As we share in His suffering
We proclaim Christ will come again!

And we’ll join in the feast of heaven
Around the table of the King ”
