The Lord’s Supper
We believe that the Memorial and Communion Supper instituted
by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is essentially a New
Testament sacrament, declarative of His sacrificial death,
through the merits of which believers have life and salvation
and promise of all spiritual blessings in Christ. It is
distinctively for those who are prepared for reverent
appreciation of its significance, and by it they show forth
the Lord’s death till He come again. It being the Communion
feast, only those who have faith in Christ and love for the
saints should be called to participate therein.
(Exodus 12:1-14; Matthew 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-25; Luke
22:17-20; John 6:28-58; 1 Corinthians 10:14-21; 11:23-32)
