WLC 168: What is the Lord’s Supper?

Answer: The Lord’s Supper is a sacrament of the New Testament1, wherein, by giving and receiving bread and wine according to the appointment of Jesus Christ, his death is showed forth; and they that worthily communicate feed upon his body and blood, to their spiritual nourishment and growth in grace2; have their union and communion with him confirmed3; testify and renew their thankfulness4, and engagement to God5, and their mutual love and fellowship each with other, as members of the same mystical body.6
