Instituted by the Lord Jesus
The Lord's Supper originates with Christ Himself on the night He was betrayed. It is not a human tradition, but a divine instruction given to His disciples. This act connects us directly to the historical moment when Jesus established this practice for His followers throughout all generations.
Remembrance, Not Re-Sacrifice
Scripture is clear that Christ's sacrifice was offered once for all. The Lord's Supper does not repeat the sacrifice, but remembers and proclaims its finished work. We participate not to re-sacrifice Christ, but to remember His once-for-all sacrifice that brings eternal redemption.
A Proclamation of the Gospel
Each time believers partake of the Lord's Supper, they proclaim the heart of the Gospel — Christ crucified, risen, and coming again. This act is a visual sermon that communicates the core message of our faith to both participants and observers.
A Call to Self-Examination
Participation in the Lord's Supper calls for reverence, repentance, and discernment of the body. It is an act of worship undertaken with humility and faith, inviting us to reflect on our relationship with God and with one another in the body of Christ.
The Practice of the Early Church
From the earliest days of the Church, believers gathered regularly to remember Christ together at the table. This practice was central to their identity as followers of Jesus and remains essential for our spiritual nourishment and corporate unity today.
