Looking especially at the Gospel of Luke and related passages, this teaching examines how communion is rooted in the Passover, instituted by Christ as the meal of the new covenant, and given to the church as a sign and seal of the gospel. The discussion highlights themes such as Christ\u2019s once-for-all sacrifice, believers\u2019 union and communion with Christ, the spiritual nourishment believers receive through the sacrament, and the fellowship shared within the body of Christ. The episode also touches on questions surrounding the frequency of communion and contrasts the Reformed understanding of the Lord\u2019s Supper with other historical views. This is a thoughtful and pastoral introduction to why the church continues to gather at the Lord\u2019s Table in remembrance of Christ and for the strengthening of faith.
