What does 'showing the Lord's death' mean in the context of the Lord's Supper?

Answered in 1 source

'Showing the Lord's death' means proclaiming His sacrifice and its significance for salvation every time we partake in the Lord's Supper.

'Showing the Lord's death' refers to the act of proclaiming Christ’s sacrificial work as believers partake of the Lord's Supper. As stated in 1 Corinthians 11:26, whenever we eat the bread and drink the cup, we declare Christ's death until He comes again. This proclamation is a reminder of the atonement He provided through His broken body and shed blood, which satisfies God's justice and redeems sinners. It reinforces the believer's assurance of salvation and the ongoing need for grace and communion with Christ and the body of believers.
