The Lord's Supper - Body of Christ in Galatia

Instituted by the Lord

“And He took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, 'This is My body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.'” — Luke 22:19

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.

Remembrance, Not Re‑Sacrifice

“For by a single offering He has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.” — Hebrews 10:14

Christ's sacrifice was offered once for all. The Lord's Supper remembers and proclaims its finished work, not repeating it.

Proclaiming the Gospel

“For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.” — 1 Corinthians 11:26

Each participation proclaims Christ's death and resurrection, a visual sermon to believers and the world.

Self‑Examination

“Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.” — 1 Corinthians 11:28

Participation calls for reverence, repentance, and discernment, inviting reflection on our relationship with God and others.

Early Church Practice

“They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.” — Acts 2:42

From the beginning, believers gathered regularly to remember Christ together at the table, central to their identity.
