RESTORED Bonus Summary

BONUS 2 - Communion

Summary

This bonus lesson teaches Communion as direct fellowship with Jesus, not a ritual that requires a third party or special religious setting.
Communion, or the Lord's Supper, is described as koinonia: a sharing in Jesus, His covenant, and the family of God.
The breaking of bread is presented as a faith reset, like the Emmaus disciples recognizing the risen Jesus when He broke bread with them.
The bread remembers Jesus' real, broken body and invites believers to confess sin, release shame, and receive what He purchased on the cross.
Isaiah 53 is used to describe the benefits of Christ's atonement: griefs and sicknesses carried, sorrows borne, transgressions pierced, iniquities crushed, peace purchased, and wholeness restored.
The cup is presented as the new covenant in Jesus' blood: not external rules that merely shape behavior, but a new heart and direct access to God's presence.
Hebrews is used to call believers to draw near with full assurance, hold fast their confession of hope, and encourage one another in love and good works.
The lesson closes by encouraging regular Communion alone with the Lord, with family, with a spouse, with a discipleship partner, and with the wider church family.
