About This Book

A minister addresses assembled communicants about the Lord’s Supper, explaining that the ordinance calls for remembrance of Christ’s person and, above all, his sacrificial death. The sermon interprets the bread and cup as symbols of a broken body and shed blood whose atoning power derives from Christ’s divine-human dignity. It urges sinners to approach by his invitation, promotes penitence and inward reflection, and emphasizes that thoughtful, Spirit-led remembrance should produce faith, contrition, and renewed obedience rather than mere ritual observance.
