Luke 22:14-23
About the next group of questions
Jesus knew that he would suffer. And he knew that he would die for our sin. He gave his disciples a simple thing to do by which to remember this.
Pray
Ask God to help you to understand the important meaning of today’s study.
22:15 What did Jesus want to do before he suffered?
22:16 When did Jesus say that he would drink wine again?
22:17 What did Jesus do after he took the cup? What did Jesus ask the disciples to do with the cup?
22:19 What did Jesus do with the bread? What did the bread represent? Why should the disciples eat the bread that Jesus gave to them?
22:20 What did the wine represent?
22:21 How did Jesus tell the disciples that one of them would hand him over to his enemies?
22:22 What would happen that God had already decided? What did Jesus say about the man who would hand him over?
22:23 What did the disciples do about what Jesus said?
Final remarks
Jesus gave a new meaning to the Passover meal. He wanted his disciples to remember that he died for them. They would remember this when they ate bread and drank wine. He talked about the New Covenant. The New Covenant is the promise that he can forgive our evil deeds. Also, this simple ceremony looks forward to when Jesus will come again. When the kingdom of God is complete, all of Jesus’ people will dine with him. Sadly, Judas will not be in the kingdom. And those who refuse God’s offer of forgiveness will not be there.
Pray
Lord Jesus, you died on the cross to forgive my evil deeds. I thank you for this. Help me not to sin but to live my life for you and for your honour. Amen.
