The Lord's Table symbolizes Christ's sacrifice and serves as a memorial for believers to remember His death and resurrection.
The Lord's Table, also known as the Lord's Supper, is instituted by Christ as a memorial for His sacrifice made for the sins of His people. In Luke 22, Jesus breaks bread and shares wine with His disciples the night before His crucifixion, commanding them to do this in remembrance of Him. This is a reflection of the Passover, marking the end of the old covenant and the beginning of the new. As believers participate in this sacred act, they proclaim the Lord's death until He returns (1 Corinthians 11:26). It serves both as a symbol of Christ's body broken for us and His blood shed for our redemption.
