Lord’s Day 29: The Lord’s Supper #

102: What is the Lord’s supper?  #

The Lord’s supper is an ordinance of the New Testament, instituted by Jesus Christ; in which by giving and receiving bread and wine, according to his appointment, his death is shown forth, and the worthy receivers are, not after a corporal and carnal manner, but by faith, made partakers of his body and blood, with all his benefits, to their spiritual nourishment and growth in grace.

(Mt. 26:26, 27, 28; 1 Cor. 11:23-26; 10:16)

103: Who are the proper subjects of this ordinance?  #

They who have been baptized upon a personal profession of their faith in Jesus Christ, and repentance from dead works.

(Acts 2:41, 42)

104. What is required to the worthy receiving of the Lord’s supper?  #

It is required of them that would worthily partake of the Lord’s supper, that they examine themselves of their knowledge to discern the Lord’s body, of their faith to feed upon him, of their repentance, love, and new obedience, lest coming unworthily they eat and drink judgment to themselves.

(1 Cor. 11:28, 29; 2 Cor. 13:5; 1 Cor. 11:31; 1 Cor. 10:16, 17; 1 Cor. 5:7, 8; 1 Cor. 11:28, 29)
