§1339Jesus chose the time of Passover to fulfill what he had announced at Capernaum: giving his disciples his Body and his Blood: Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the passover lamb had to be sacrificed. So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the passover meal for us, that we may eat it...." They went ... and prepared the passover. and when the hour came…

Further proofs of the same proposition, drawn from the promises made by Christ, when He declared that He would drink of the fruit of the vine with His disciples in His Father's kingdom, while at the same time He promised to reward them an hundred-fold, and to make them partake of banquets. The blessing pronounced by Jacob had pointed out this already, as Papias and the elders h…

Our Lord Jesus, in the night wherein he was betrayed, instituted the sacrament of his body and blood, called the Lord's Supper, to be observed in his Church unto the end of the world; for the perpetual remembrance of the sacrifice of himself in his death, the sealing all benefits thereof unto true believers, their spiritual nourishment and growth in him, their further engagemen…

Now concerning the Eucharist, give thanks this way. First, concerning the cup: We thank thee, our Father, for the holy vine of David Thy servant, which Thou madest known to us through Jesus Thy Servant; to Thee be the glory for ever. And concerning the broken bread: We thank Thee, our Father, for the life and knowledge which Thou madest known to us through Jesus Thy Servant; to…

In the same manner as we have heard regarding Holy Baptism, we must speak also of the other Sacrament, namely, these three points: What is it? What are its benefits? and Who is to receive it? And all these are established by the words by which Christ has instituted it, and which every one who desires to be a Christian and go to the Sacrament should know. For it is our intention…

Q. How many sacraments did Christ institute in the New Testament? A. Two: baptism and the Lord's Supper.

Q. How does the Lord's Supper remind you and assure you that you share in Christ's one sacrifice on the cross and in all his gifts? A. In this way: Christ has commanded me and all believers to eat this broken bread and to drink this cup. With this command he gave this promise: First, as surely as I see with my eyes the bread of the Lord broken for me and the cup given to me, so…

Q. Where does Christ promise to nourish and refresh believers with his body and blood as surely as they eat this broken bread and drink this cup? A. In the institution of the Lord's Supper: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me. In the same way…

We believe and confess that our Savior Jesus Christ has ordained and instituted the sacrament of the Holy Supper to nourish and sustain those who are already regenerated and ingrafted into his family, which is his church. Now those who are born again have two lives in them. The one is physical and temporal—they have it from the moment of their first birth, and it is common to a…

The Supper of the Lord (which is called the Lord's Table, and the Eucharist, that is, a Thanksgiving) is ordinarily administered in the congregations of the saints, that in it the death of Christ may be held in memory, and his coming again expected, according to his own ordinance: "Do this in remembrance of me; for as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim …

The Formula affirms the real, substantial presence of Christ's true body and blood in, with, and under the bread and wine, received by all communicants — believers unto blessing, unbelievers unto judgment. This is not transubstantiation (a change of substance) but a sacramental union. It denies that the Supper is merely symbolic or that Christ's body is present only spiritually…

Luther affirms that the bread and wine in the Lord's Supper are the true body and blood of Christ, and that both elements should be given to laypeople, not withheld. The sacrament was instituted by Christ for Christians to eat and drink, not for priests to sacrifice. It is to be received in faith as a gift, not offered as a work.

The two Sacraments ordained by Christ Himself — Baptism and the Supper of the Lord — ministered with unfailing use of Christ's words of institution, and of the elements ordained by Him.

We believe that the Lord's Supper is a provision of bread and wine, as symbols of Christ's broken body and shed blood, to be observed by His disciples until the end of the world; in no sense is it a sacrifice, but designed to commemorate His death, to confirm the faith and other graces of Christians, and to be a bond, pledge, and renewal of their communion with Him and of their…

In the Eucharist, the bread and wine are truly changed into the body and blood of Christ by the invocation of the Holy Spirit. What appears to the senses as bread is no longer mere bread but the body of Christ; what appears as wine is His precious blood. Cyril appeals to Christ's own words — "This is my body" — and to John 6, where Christ declares that His flesh is true food. T…
