Why did Jesus command Christians to take communion? Is the Lord’s Supper meant to remind us which “side of the cross” we live on—or to remember Jesus Christ and proclaim His sacrificial death?
In this episode, Richard Moore examines Jesus’ words at the Last Supper and Paul’s teaching in 1 Corinthians 11. Scripture gives communion a distinctly Christ-centered meaning: “Do this in remembrance of Me.” Every time believers eat the bread and drink the cup, they remember Christ, proclaim His death, and anticipate His return.
When teachers add meanings that the biblical text does not give, communion can subtly shift from glorifying Christ to emphasizing ourselves and our supposed covenant privileges. The Lord’s Table is not ultimately about remembering ourselves. It is about remembering Jesus.
📖 Key Scriptures: Luke 22:19–20; Matthew 26:26–29; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26
