The Lord's Supper

Sunday 9:30 - 11:00 am

Breaking of Bread

Corporate worship is vital within a local church, and a significant aspect of this is the Lord's Supper, also known as the "Breaking of Bread," which commemorates Jesus Christ's death, burial, and resurrection.

 

In an upper room, Jesus Christ gathered his disciples before his crucifixion. During their meal, he took bread, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "Take, eat; this is my body." He also took a cup, gave thanks, and passed it to them, saying, "Drink all of it; for this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many, for the remission of sins" (Matthew 26:26-28).

 

The bread symbolizes Christ's body, offered as a sacrifice for our sins. He expressed this in Hebrews 10:5, saying, "Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me."

 

Likewise, the wine represents Jesus Christ's blood shed for us. The Bible emphasizes the consequence of sin in Romans 6:23: "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." However, God, in his mercy, provided a substitute in His Son, Jesus Christ, who sacrificed His life for our salvation. He stated, "My blood... is shed for many, for the remission of sins" (Matthew 26:28), signifying the complete payment for our salvation.

 

As followers of Christ, we gather every Sunday to honour and remember him in the manner he instructed us. Through the bread and cup, we reflect on the Savior's sacrifice on the cross at Calvary, securing our redemption.
