FAQs Mondays: "What Is the Lord's Supper?"

Last week, we answered the question, "What is Baptism?". You can read that article here. This week, we will be answering the question, "What is the Lord's Supper?".

What is the Lord's Supper?

The eating of bread and the drinking of wine to remember the sufferings and death of our Lord Jesus Christ. Note: You may want to substitute the expression "fruit of the vine" for wine.

What does the bread represent?

The bread represents the body of Christ, broken for our sins.

What does the wine represent?

The wine represents the blood of Christ shed for our salvation. Note: If you choose to change wine for fruit of the vine, remember to ask and answer the question with that change in mind.

Who should partake of the Lord's Supper?

Baptized believers who repent of their sins and love one another.

The Lord's Supper displays salvation as it reminds us of the means of our salvation, the sacrifice of Christ. We are reminded each time we take it of the great price required to purchase our pardon. Next week, we begin looking at question, "How will it all end?". Please feel free to leave a comment.
