1 Corinthians 11:23-26
23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes.

Jesus had Passover with His disciples as the Lamb of God, slain for God’s wrath to pass over our sins by His sacrificial death with the bitter herbs of suffering for us first. His blood on the doorposts of our souls is remembered in the drinking of the cup of wine in this sacrament. His broken and tortured body, whipped and slain while innocent as a lamb, is remembered in the bread of this meal. By these we remember and solemnly meditate on all Jesus Christ did for us and how unworthy we are to have death pass us by while destroying others who are not His people. This is how we tell of His death for us until He comes back to take us to the promised land in eternity. Selah.
