The Lord's Supper

Answers to Common Questions

As Jesus was celebrating his final Passover meal, he made some bold statements. First, he took the bread and said, "This is my body." Then he took the cup, saying, "This is my blood." Next, he commanded the disciples to eat and drink in remembrance of him.

What did Jesus mean? Do the bread and wine literally become his body and blood? What happens when Christians take the Lord’s Supper?

In The Lord’s Supper: Answers to Common Questions, Dr. Keith A. Mathison walks through these questions and several others to help us better understand this sacrament. Far from being an empty ritual, the Lord’s Supper is a means of grace, a source of spiritual nourishment, and true communion with Christ and his church.

Great Treatment of the Topic

This was a great treatment of the Lord's Supper. He explains the historic Reformed view very clearly. The chapter on preparation was also an excellent resource for self-examination before coming to the table.
