Does the Lord's Supper add anything to
Christ's atoning work?
No, Christ died once for all. The Lord's
Supper is a covenant meal celebrating Christ's atoning work; as it
is also a means of strengthening our faith as we look to him, and a foretaste
of the future feast. But those who take part with unrepentant hearts eat and
drink judgment unto themselves.
1 PITA 3:18
He ko Kalaisi foki
na‘a ne mo‘ua mamahi tu‘o taha koe‘uhi ko e ngaahi angahala, ko e angatonu ma‘a
e ta‘eangatonu, koe‘uhi ke ne fakaofiofi ‘a kitautolu ki he ‘Otua . . .
1 PETER
3:18
For Christ also suffered once for sins,
the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God...
LEO
SCHUSTER
It's
important to note that the bread and wine don't change in any way. Jesus isn't
present physically, but he's present spiritually as the
Holy Spirit exhibits him to us by faith. Now for those who are spiritually
unresolved, the Lord's Supper is a call to them to receive Christ rather than
to participate in the meal. By witnessing Christians partaking, they're
encouraged to hear the echo of Jesus's loving call. "I am the bread of
life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall
never thirst" John 6:35). And when we as believers take communion by
faith, Jesus meets with us, uniting us as a community, nourishing us with
himself, and strengthening us to love and obey him. That's the present
dimension.
