Definition: The Lord's Supper, also known as Communion, was commanded by our Lord and reminds us of the heart of the Gospel message: Christ died for us. When we partake of the Bread and Cup, we look to Jesus, our resurrected Lord, who is very present to minister forgiveness and grace to all who by faith will rest in His finished work.

Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 11:23-29; Matthew 26:26-29

Study: When we take Communion, we are doing two things at once. First, we are remembering what Jesus did for us on the cross and what He is doing for us now in the heavens. We seek to be people who live out of this story; our lives ought to be shaped by the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of

Jesus. Secondly, we are also participating in the work of Jesus. Just as eating and drinking gives strength to our bodies, so too does the spiritual meal of the Supper fill us with Spiritual strength to grow in Christ and in unity to one another.
