On the night when Jesus betrayed, our Lord did two things that continue to capture the hearts and imaginations of his disciples to this day. First, he washed his disciples’ feet, and second, he instituted the Lord’s Supper. The New Testament teaches that the church should continue receiving the Lord’s Supper as a sacrament, and that we should receive the Lord’s Supper according to the exact pattern by which Jesus himself instituted it. When Paul teaches about the Lord’s Supper, he writes, “For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you….For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes” (1 Cor. 11:23, 26). To this day, all Christian churches receive the Lord’s Supper regularly.
