Why is Christ's sacrifice central to the Lord's Supper?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's sacrifice is central because the Supper symbolizes the payment for our sins through His broken body and shed blood.

The centrality of Christ's sacrifice in the Lord's Supper is underscored by His actions during the institution of the ordinance. In taking bread and breaking it, Christ identified His body which would be broken in death for the transgressions of His people. Similarly, the cup signifies the New Testament in His blood, emphasizing the costly nature of redemption. As believers partake in this ordinance, they are reminded of the severe price paid for their sins and the profound grace extended to them through His sacrifice, solidifying their union with Christ and His sustaining power.
