What does the Bible say about remembering Christ in the Lord's Supper?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible emphasizes the importance of remembering Christ during the Lord's Supper as a way to honor His sacrifice.
In 1 Corinthians 11:23-26, the Apostle Paul reminds us that the Lord's Supper is a memorial instituted by Christ: 'This do in remembrance of me.' This command highlights the necessity of focusing on Christ's body, broken for us, and His blood, shed for our sins, as we partake in this ordinance. The act of remembering is crucial because it calls our attention back to the fundamental truths of our faith and helps us acknowledge Christ’s sacrifice. The observance of the Lord's Supper should not merely be a ritualistic act but a heartfelt remembrance of our Savior's willingness to bear our sins and the love that motivated His sacrifice.
