By His Poured Out Blood

I am becoming more convinced that our students need to understand the rich theology that is locked within the Lord's Supper. We take the Lord's Supper twice a month in our church. Twice a month our students get a reminder of what Jesus' poured out blood did for them.

The Lord Jesus on the night he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body given for you;”

In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you."

Jesus Christ gave us His body for what His blood would be poured out to do.
