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

Answered in 1 source

Christ's sacrifice is central to the Lord's Table because it represents His atonement and the new covenant established through His blood.

The essence of the Lord's Table lies in the portrayal of Christ’s sacrifice, which is pivotal to Christian faith. In Luke 22:20, Jesus declares the cup to be the New Testament in His blood, indicating that His sacrificial death establishes a new covenant between God and His people. This means that His body was broken, and His blood was shed not merely as a ritual act, but as a fulfillment of God’s promise for redemption. Remembering His sacrifice during communion affirms our belief in His substitutionary atonement and the assurance of salvation afforded to those who trust in Him.
