Lord's Supper

The Lord's Supper, also known as Communion or the Eucharist, is a Christian sacrament commemorating the Last Supper that Jesus shared with His disciples before His crucifixion. This event is recorded in the Gospels, particularly in Luke 22:19-20, where Jesus breaks bread and shares wine, instructing His followers to do this in remembrance of Him. The bread symbolizes His body, which was broken for humanity, while the wine represents His blood, shed for the forgiveness of sins (Matthew 26:28). The significance of the Lord's Supper extends beyond mere remembrance; it embodies the covenant relationship between God and His people (1 Corinthians 11:25). Paul emphasizes the importance of approaching the table with reverence, warning against partaking in an unworthy manner (1 Corinthians 11:27-29). This sacrament serves as a profound expression of communal faith and unity among believers, as they partake together in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ, reaffirming their commitment to live in accordance with His teachings (Acts 2:42). Through the Lord's Supper, Christians celebrate their salvation and anticipate the future return of Christ, reinforcing their hope and faith in Him.
