The Lord's Supper signifies our remembrance of Christ's sacrifice and anticipation of His return.
The Lord's Supper serves a dual purpose: it is a memorial of Christ's sacrificial death and a proclamation of His impending return. As stated in 1 Corinthians 11:26, 'For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you do show the Lord's death till He come.' This practice invites believers to reflect on the atonement secured through Jesus' body and blood and to anticipate the glorious second coming. Additionally, the Supper unifies believers, reminding us of our shared faith and commitment to Christ. It is both a solemn and joyful occasion, calling us to examine ourselves and rejoice in our salvation while looking forward to eternal communion with Him.
