Lesson Of The Hour

Jesus instituted a memorial meal on the night of His betrayal. The New Testament church recognized this as “the breaking of bread.” Many know this memorial as "the Lord’s Supper" or "communion." The breaking of the bread is a communion partaking of Christ’s body and blood, and the meal is an essential act of Christian unity. Paul further warned Christians to partake of the Lord’s Supper in a worthy manner discerning the body and the blood. For in doing this, Christians proclaim the Lord’s death. This message explores these significant points and more from the Scriptures.Scripture Reading: Luke 24:13-27 (read by Gerrit Dekker)Lesson by Scott ShifferdRecorded March 4, 2018 at the Dean Road church of Christ in Jacksonville, FL
