The Lord's Supper is one of those delivery mechanisms by which the Holy Spirit sustains our union and communion with Christ. We don't have to figure out how Christ is either absent, swingly, or present Luther on earth at the altar or table here on earth. Because it's the Holy Spirit who unites us to Christ. But he says this idea of ubiquitous flesh or humanity that can be in multiple locations is a monstrous phantasm.
Christ instituted the Lord’s Supper and commanded the church to “do this in remembrance of me.” But why? In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland compare the unique views of the Lutheran, Baptist, Reformed, and Anglican traditions of this sacrament and what it means to participate in our union with Christ by “eating his body and drinking his blood.”
