1 Corinthians 11:23 - 25 (NKJV)
For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you; that the Lord Jesus on the same night that He was betrayed took bread; 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." 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."

Isaiah 53:3 - 5 (NKJV)
He is despised and rejected by men, a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, and we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.

He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will."
John 19:28 - 30 (NKJV)
After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled said, "I thirst!" Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. So when Jesus had receive the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
Jesus, our Lord, our Savior, placed Himself upon the cross, the perfect sacrifice of the Perfect Lamb, His body was broken and His blood was shed for us so that we could live life to the fullest, God's adopted children, His family, set apart and lifted up, called by our Father to fulfill His purpose for our lives
Abba, Father may we this day press toward the goal for the prize of Your upward call in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14), Your will be done in us; it is in the name of our Lord, our Savior, our Healer that we pray. Amen.
