- What is the Lord’s Supper?
- The Lord’s Supper is a holy ordinance, wherein, by giving and receiving bread and wine, according to Christ’s appointment, His death is showed forth, and the worthy receivers are, not after a corporeal 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.
- 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.

Thoughts
- Below is taken from chapter 30 of the The Baptist Confession of Faith 1689 – Notes by Peter Masters.
- “1. The Supper of the Lord Jesus was instituted by Him the same night on which He was betrayed to be observed in His churches until the end of the world for the perpetual remembrance, and showing forth of the sacrifice of Himself in His death.1
It was also instituted by Christ to confirm believers in all the benefits of His death;
– for their spiritual nourishment and growth in Him;
– for their further engagement in and commitment to all the duties which they owe to
Him;
– and to be a bond and pledge of their communion with Him and with their fellow believers.2
1 1 Cor 11.23-26. 2 1 Cor 10.16-21.
- In this ordinance Christ is not offered up to His Father, nor is there any real sacrifice made at all for remission of sin (of the living or the dead). There is only a memorial of that one offering up of Christ by Himself upon the cross once for all, 3 the memorial being accompanied by a spiritual oblation [offering] of all possible praise to God for Calvary.4 Therefore, the popish [Roman Catholic] sacrifice of the mass, as they call it, is most abominable [both spiritually and physically loathsome], being injurious to Christ’s own sacrifice, which is the only propitiation [appeasement; atonement] for all the sins of the elect.
3 Heb 9.25-28. 4 1 Cor 11.24; Matt 26.26-27.
- The Lord Jesus has, in this ordinance, appointed His ministers to pray and bless the elements of bread and wine (so setting them apart from a common to a holy use) and to take and break the bread, then to take the cup, and to give both to the communicants, also communicating themselves5 [at the same time].
5 1 Cor 11.23-26, etc.
- The denial of the cup to the people, the practices of worshipping the elements, lifting them up or carrying them about for adoration, or reserving them for any pretended religious use, are all contrary to the nature [and meaning] of this ordinance, and to the institution of Christ.6
6 Matt 26.26-28; 15.9; Exod 20.4-5.
- The outward elements in this ordinance which are correctly set apart and used as Christ ordained, so closely portray Him as crucified, that they are sometimes truly (but figuratively) referred to in terms of the things they represent, such as the body and blood of Christ.7 However [while such terms may rightly be used of the elements] in substance and nature they still remain truly and only bread and wine as they were before.8
7 1 Cor 11.27. 8 1 Cor 11.26-28.
- The doctrine commonly called transubstantiation, which maintains that a change occurs in the substance of the bread and wine into the substance of Christ’s body and blood, when consecrated by a priest or by any other way, is repugnant not only to Scripture9 but even to common sense and reason. It overthrows the nature of the ordinance, and both has been and is the cause of a host of superstitions and of gross idolatries10 [repulsively glaring worship of an image of Deity, which is prohibited and condemned by the Lord.]
9 Acts 3.21; Luke 24.6 & 39. 10 1 Cor 11.24-25.” [1]
