The Lord's Supper

20When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat. 1 Corinthians 11:20

When the Lord Jesus, as the Son of Man yet to die on the cross, shared His last supper with His disciples, a new memorial was given to God's people.

This Supper is multi-faceted, and holds many blessings and much knowledge for the people of Yahweh.

It is possible, as we see above from Paul's letter to the Corinthian Assembly, to gather together but not actually eat the Lord's Supper.

Therefore it is important to understand what the Supper is, so that we may truly participate in it and experience all that the Lord has for us.
