Text: Luke 22:19-20

The ultimate gift of Christmas was that the Son of God became the Son of Man, so that the sons of men could become the sons of God.

I. THE PASSION OF JESUS

The Lord took two of the frailest elements in the world as symbols of His body and blood.

A. The Bread Represents His Broken Body

Isaiah 52:14
“His visage was so marred more than any man, and His form more than the sons of men”

B. The Juice Represents His Shed Blood

Hebrews 9:22
“…without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.”

II. THE PERSON OF JESUS

A. We Remember Who Jesus Is


• Jesus is the Son of God

John 1:1
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

• Jesus is the Creator of all things

Colossians 1:16
“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him”

• Jesus alone reveals the Father

John 1:18
“No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.”

B. We Remember What Jesus Has Done

Galatians 6:14
“God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ…”

Whatever we don’t turn into PRAISE turns into PRIDE.

If you’re at the table, you belong here.
