It’s interesting…Jesus never asked his disciples to remember His birth.  But he did instruct them to remember his death and resurrection.  He gave the church two visible symbols (called, “ordinances”) as reminders of his death.  These two ordinances are Believer’s Baptism (link…) and the Lord’s Supper. 

The Lord’s Supper is an object lesson that represents a great spiritual truth for believers.

What is the Lord’s Supper? (1 Corinthians 11:23-26)

• It is a simple act 
  The Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, took bread… (vs. 23)

• It is a reminder.
  …and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; eat it in remembrance of me.” (vs. 24)

• It is a statement of faith.
  For whenever you eat the bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes back. (vs. 26)

Who should take the Lord’s Supper? Those who have done with Christ spiritually what we do with bread and water physically –ingest it into our bodies/lives. So ideally, the Lord’s Supper only has real meaning for those who have made a faith commitment to Christ.

When should we observe the Lord’s Supper? Jesus never said when or how often believers should observe The  Lord’s Supper. The first Lord’s Supper happened on a Thursday night.  In the Bible, Christians observed the communion in small groups in homes. So, there is no biblically designated schedule or location for the Lord’s Supper.
