The Lord's Supper is not only a sign of the love that Christians ought to have among themselves to one another, but it's more than that. It's a sacrament of our redemption by Christ's death. The body of Christ is given, taken, and eaten in the Supper only after a heavenly and spiritual manner. That's that Reformed piece of it is faith you're eating body blood of Christ.
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.”
