Day 123. What sacraments were ordained by Christ? (2025)

Today is day 123 and we are studying The Sacraments.

123. What sacraments were ordained by Christ?

The two sacraments ordained by Christ that are “generally necessary to salvation” (1662 Catechism)are Baptism and Holy Communion (also called the Lord’s Supper or the Holy Eucharist).

These are sometimes called “sacraments of the Gospel.” (Articles of Religion, 25; see also Matthew 28:19–20; Luke 22:14–20; John 6:52–58; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26; 2 Corinthians 1:21–22)

We will conclude today with Prayer following the Litany of Ordinations for a Bishop found on page 500 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
