Episode notes

There seems to be even when we start looking back to this eating things, there is this past, present, and future. This isn't just us reading something into 1 Corinthians 11. Are you making up these looks? I mean, this seems to be a pattern in Exodus too. It's the Holy Spirit who makes the future partially present now so that I can say I truly feed on Christ's body and blood. The true and natural crucified body and shed blood of Christ but by the Holy Spirit, feeding me, connecting me with his humanity exalted in heaven.

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.”
