What the Bible Teaches About the Lord’s Supper (Communion)
Jesus gave the Lord’s Supper as a simple, holy ordinance for born-again believers. It reminds us of His death until He returns. This memorial uses unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine. It is not a saving ritual or a transformation of the elements but a fellowship of the Body. Jesus said, “Do this in remembrance of Me” (Luke 22:19; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26). Leaven represents sin, so we use unleavened bread as a symbol of sincerity and truth (1 Corinthians 5:7-8). Those who partake must examine themselves in light of the Word (1 Corinthians 11:27-32). The early church pattern was to repent, believe, be baptized, and continue in the apostles’ teaching and breaking of bread (Acts 2:41-42).
