Lord's Supper

 

​

In Paul's Letter to the people of Corinth, he explained to them the purpose of the communion: 

 

• 1 Corinthians 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: 24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

​​

• You'll notice that Paul said that the Lord took the break and he brake "it" in it's singular form just as it later says that also he took "the" cup in it's singular form.  Therefore, even though we know we cannot partake of that same loaf of bread and drink from that very same cup, we do chose to only use one loaf of unleavened bread and we pass only one cup to emulate as close as possible to how Jesus and the disciples originally partook. 

 

• We feel this is the most important thing that Christians do on Sunday, just as the disciples came together on the first day of the week to break bread.  ​​
