In Luke 22:19–20 we read:
“And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: [do this] in remembrance of me.
“Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.”
When Christ spoke these words found in Luke, He was focused on us; the sacrament was given for our benefit. Notice again what He says: “This is my body which is given for you.” And in the following verse, He says, “This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.”
Dear brothers and sisters, the Lord uses the pronoun you again and again to emphasize and remind us that the sacrament is for us—for you and for me!
