The Lord's supper

The main reason christians come together on Sunday morning is to remember the death and resurrection of Christ through the symbols of the bread and wine, which take our minds back to the love sacrifice Jesus made when he offered himself up, on the cross, for the sins of mankind. "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." (Matthew 26:28).

The meaning behind this act carries many components; first and foremost, the memory of the death and resurrection of Christ and the proclamation of his death until he returns. "For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes". (I Corinthians 11:26).

During the course of time, however, this observance lost its genuine pure simplicity and became more and more cloaked in mystery. To give back the pure meaning to such an important remembrance requires a true understanding of its original intent, and an observance in keeping with the original form as exemplified in the scriptures.

Today, centuries later, that same supper is observed on the same day of the week by the same church for the same motive.
