Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.\u2019 The second is this: \u2018Love your neighbor as yourself.\u2019 There is no commandment greater than these.\u201d ~Mark 12:29-31<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. \u00a0And he said to them, \u2018I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. \u00a0For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.\u2019 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, \u2018Take this and divide it among you. For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.\u2019 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, \u2018This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.\u2019 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, \u201cThis cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.\u2019\u201d~Luke 22:14-20<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, \u2018Take and eat; this is my body.\u2019 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, \u2018Drink from it, all of you. \u00a0This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father\u2019s kingdom.\u2019\u201d ~Matthew 26:26-29<\/p>\n<p>Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.~Psalm 106:1<\/p>\n<p>Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind.~Psalm 107:21<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGive thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.<br \/>\nGive thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever.<br \/>\nGive thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever.<br \/>\nGive thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever.\u201d<br \/>\n~ Psalm 136:1-3,26<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpeaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit.
