Matthew 26: 26-27 “While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to His disciples saying, ‘Take and eat; this is my body.’ Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, ‘Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.’”
In the Church, we come together most through the Lord’s Supper (also called “Communion” and “Eucharist”). This is where we truly feed on Christ, and we become one. At the Communion table, we get a short glimspe of what it will be like when Christ returns and sets up His heavenly kingdom here on earth. This is a gift from God that gives us grace and stength to live life in this fallen world. It is through Communion that we are regularly reminded of the need to repent of our sin and of God’s grace offered through Christ. We receive that grace anew anytime we partake of His body and blood.
