The Lord’s supper—what and when?
BQ: Someone once said to me about, "Wow, you guys take the Lord's supper, it's been a long time since we've had it at Grace (church)." My inner reaction about that large church was, "uh oh...."
Q: What is the Lord's supper, and when do we take it?
A: 1 Cor 11:1, Philp 4:9, Act 20:7, 1 Cor 10:16-17, 1 Cor 11:20-32, Mt 26:26-29
"For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes:" We are told to imitate the example given, and the example is that the assembly took it weekly. I once had a friend who wanted to make jokes during it--but it's a remembrance of the price paid for us, a persistent and living hope, and a reminder of our new covenant with God. It's both somber and joyous. The Lord's supper is an incredibly important event, and not something to take lightly.
