Last Week, Lord's Supper

Lord's Supper
Why do we do it?

I had the honor and privilege of doing the Communion Meditations while I was a member of a Christian Church. (I have those meditations posted elsewhere on this blog.) I also had the privilege of serving Communion as an usher.
The church I am apart of now observes the Lord's Supper on the first Sunday morning of the month. We observe it a little different from what I was used to at the Christian Church when we observed it weekly or at the Baptist Church where we observed it once a month on a Sunday night. Instead of passing the trays down the aisle, we set up tables scattered throughout the worship center with the elements on them and during the Communion song we get up and go to a table. We can then go off to the side as individuals or as a group to pray and spend time with the Lord. We do this because it takes effort to walk out toward God in Faith. When observing the Lord's Supper we are remembering what God has done for us on the Cross.

Read these key verses on the Lord's Supper:
Matthew 26:26-29
Mark 14:22-25
Luke 22:17-20
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
John 3

1. Someone tell me why is the Lord's Supper so important?
2. What are the meanings behind the emblems?
Bread- Jesus' body which was broken
Wine/grape juice- Jesus' blood that was shed
3. What does the Lord's Supper mean to you?
4. Is it just another ritual that is done on a Sunday Worship service?
If it is, I challenge you to look into the meaning and reason for observing the Lord's Supper. Take a deep look at what Jesus did for us on the Cross.
