New Testament Theology

The lord's Supper and the first-century body of Christ

 

From the Preface
Understanding the meaning and importance of the Lord’s Supper or Eucharist,[1]  the sacred meal depicting the common grace believers have received from the Lord Jesus Christ, is essential for faithful devotion for all Christians. It is my hope that this essay will compel the followers of Jesus to draw near to Him and understand more deeply the historical and theological meaning of His Supper. In the end, may we all bring genuine worship and the Fruit of the Spirit to all our relationships surrounding the Lord’s Table.
