Then you will be like a new batch of dough without any yeast, as indeed I know you actually are. We believe this ordinance is intended to remind us of Christ's atoning death. These passages reveal that the broken bread represents the body of Christ as it was broken in the crucifixion. The cup passed among the disciples symbolized the blood Jesus shed for the sins of mankind. In receiving the bread and the cup, Christians remember that because Christ died they receive forgiveness for sin.
Communion is also an act of obedience.
As Christians live in constant expectation of Christ's return, they prepare the way for him by continuing to proclaim his death through Communion. We believe the Lord's Supper is open to all Christians. To participate in this ordinance one must have personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Anyone who confesses Jesus as Savior and Lord is eligible and invited to participate in this ordinance. The Lord's Supper should always be observed decently and in good order.
