Why Is the Lord’s Supper So Important? is unavailable, but you can change that!

Church Questions is a series that seeks to provide ordinary Christians with sound and accessible biblical teaching by answering common questions about church life. Each volume offers biblical answers and practical applications with the goal of nurturing healthy church practice and commitment. Have you taken the Lord’s Supper without understanding what it means? Do you wonder about its relevance...

In baptism, at least two things happen: (1) a Christian publicly identifies with Jesus and his people, and (2) a church publicly affirms the believer and receives him or her into Jesus’s family. At the Lord’s Supper, Christians renew their commitment both to Jesus and one another; they affirm their ongoing faith in Jesus and their mutual membership in his family. Together, baptism and the Lord’s Supper identify who is “in” and who is “out” in a local church—they show us who belongs to the family.
