Notice what God’s word says in (1 Corinthians 11:26). Now notice the word proclaim in that verse. The word proclaim is (kataggello) – {kat-ang-gel-lo} in the greek, and means to declare openly, to declare plainly, or to tell out loud. Whenever we share together in the Lord’s Supper we are making a public confession of faith. We are making an open declaration of salvation. A bold announcement that we believe in the death, burial, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The Lord’s supper, by means of symbols for His flesh and blood, preaches Jesus Christ crucified. He is the sin bearer, the substitute, the mediator, and the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). We are proclaiming in a public way, our biblical beliefs that…….
- That Christ was substituted for us
- That God was satisfied with Christ’s substitution
- That man can now be justified – because God is satisfied
