Otherwise known as the Eucharist, or the Lord’s Supper, it is an ordinance that was instituted by Jesus Christ Himself. This practice encourages Christian unity as it is intended for believers to participate in the meal together at the Lord’s table. Its purpose is to remind believers of the selfless sacrifice Jesus made on behalf of all humanity when He died on the cross for our sins and that this act was the seal of our new covenant. It was by His sacrificial death that humanity received forgiveness of sins and it was by his victorious resurrection that humanity receives hope both in this life and the hereafter.
