Week 25 of Year 5 "In Remembrance"

Menu

For adult study: "In Remembrance"

The story summary and questions were written in a way that makes it possible to use a New Testament reference in place of the Urantia reference. A selected chapter from a 1932 book, Treasure-House of the Living Religions, supports a spiritual theme that is found within the story. Children will use a one page handout that includes a coloring picture.

Paper 179:5
The Urantia Book
Do this in remembrance of me

Students may read Paper 179:5.1-3 or entire section

Jesus and the apostles entered the upper room and sat down at a table that had been prepared for their Passover meal. It was their last supper together. During the meal, Jesus shared bread and wine with his disciples in a special way. He said, “Do this in remembrance of me.” Down through the centuries, people have gathered to remember Jesus and commune with his presence. This helps us experience the great truth that Jesus continues to live among us and serve through us.

Discussion Questions

Sometimes we say this experience is a mystery. What is mysterious about it? The bread and wine serve as important symbols for Jesus’ life and the Spirit that he promised to send. What helps us remember what Jesus said or did?

148:6.7 ... Do you not see that Job longed for a human God, that he hungered to commune with a divine Being who knows man’s mortal estate and understands that the just must often suffer in innocence as a part of this first life of the long Paradise ascent? ...
