What Does the Lord’s Supper Mean to You?

Passages concerning the Lord’s Supper:

That he is having fellowship with Jesus’ body and blood.
It proclaims:
- … that Jesus was alive.
- … that Jesus died.
- … His coming.
- … that we are in the kingdom now.
  - Note: Pre-millenialists can’t take the Lord’s Supper and be consistent with their beliefs.
- … that we are under the New Covenant.
- … our faith and love for Him.
It is a memorial of His death and promise to come again.
- Jeremiah 2:32
- We take the supper on the first day of the week to remember Him all week long.
An anticipation
- I Corinthians 11:26

The prayer should include thanks for the bread and fruit of the vine.
There is no need for the prayer to be long. It is best to keep the focus of the prayer on the supper itself.
At a cemetery, a tombstone is a memorial, not really a representation of a person.
The bread and fruit of the vine are more properly understood as memorials, not as representations of the body and blood of Jesus.

What about going on a trip and missing the supper?
Consider carefully because we will have to answer for the Lord for our decisions!
