How do we know the significance of the Lord's Table?

The significance of the Lord's Table stems from its biblical foundation as instituted by Jesus Christ Himself. In 1 Corinthians 11:23-26, Paul recounts receiving the instructions directly from Christ, highlighting its importance. The bread represents Christ's body, and the wine represents His blood—both essential components of the new covenant established through His death. The repetition of this ordinance serves to remind believers of the centrality of Christ’s sacrifice and their identity in Him. Observing the Lord's Table also signifies our participation in His redemptive work and our relationship with Him and other believers.
