It’s a privilege to participate in the Lord’s Supper together and be reminded of the tremendous sacrifice heaven made on our behalf when God sent His Son into the world to lay down His life for the sins of the world. When Jesus was here on earth, He met with His disciples at the close of His earthly ministry for one last supper. Included in their meal was unleavened bread and wine (unfermented grape juice). Jesus led them in eating first the bread as a symbol of His body, which would be broken for them (and us). He then followed by drinking with them the pure juice of the grape (unfermented) that represented His blood, which would be shed in only a matter of hours. You can read the entire story in Matthew 26:17-30, Mark 14:12-26, Luke 22:7-38, and John 13:1-30. Jesus bid us to “do in remembrance of Me.” Participating in the Communion service allows us to express our faith in Jesus as our Lord and Savior. We remember His death and sacrifice on our behalf and recommit ourselves to joyfully proclaim His death and resurrection until He comes again.
