The Lord's Supper, also known as Communion, represents the body and blood of Christ given for believers, instituted by Jesus during the Last Supper.
The Lord's Supper, derived from Jesus’ instructions during the Last Supper with His disciples, embodies profound theological truths. In 1 Corinthians 11:23-26, Paul recounts how Jesus took bread, broke it, and proclaimed it as His body, broken for His followers. The cup, signifying the New Testament in His blood, serves as a reminder of the redemption and forgiveness provided through Christ's sacrificial death. This act of communion is not merely a ritual; it is a profound proclamation of the Gospel and a means of grace for believers, reminding us of Christ’s sacrifice and our unity in faith.
