Ask the Questions
Bigs Discussion Questions
Whom did Jesus send to prepare the Passover? (Peter and John, Luke 22:8)
What two items did Jesus share with His disciples as a way to remember His sacrifice? (the bread and the cup, Luke 22:19-20)
What did Jesus say Peter would do three times before the morning came? (deny that he knew Jesus, Luke 22:34)
Why is the Lord’s Supper so important?
Guide kids to think less about the specific foods used and more about the symbolism of the meal. Remind them that Jesus’ sacrifice was a choice. He did not have to allow His enemies to hurt and kill Him. The Lord’s Supper is a meaningful way for us to honor Jesus by obeying Him. The Lord’s Supper is a beautiful picture of what Jesus did for us in dying on the cross.
Who can participate in taking the Lord’s Supper?
Guide kids to think about the importance of the bread and the cup. Remind them that only those who have faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection have salvation from sin. Those who reject Jesus or who have not yet come to faith do not participate in the Lord’s Supper.
What other ways do we remember and celebrate Jesus’ sacrifice for us?
Direct kids to think about when most churches gather. Discuss the hymns and songs we sing. Remind the kids that we celebrate Easter in the springtime. Talk about the burial and resurrection symbolism of baptism.
Elementary Discussion Questions
When was the old covenant established?
What is the new covenant? Help kids recognize that in the old covenant, God expected His people to live a certain way. He explained this covenant to Abraham in Genesis. God’s people had broken the old covenant over and over, so God in His mercy established a new covenant. The new covenant says that everyone who turns away from sin and trusts in Jesus’ death and resurrection will be forgiven of his sins and have eternal life.
Why did Jesus instruct the disciples to take the bread and the cup?
Lead kids to recall that by remembering Jesus’ sacrifice in this way, we “proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.”
What must we do to be saved through the new covenant?
Discuss with kids that our salvation is not dependent on our works because Jesus already lived a perfect life and died to pay for our sins. We receive the free gift of salvation by trusting Him as our Lord.
