A. The Lord's Supper is an ordinance of the New Testament, instituted by
Jesus Christ; wherein, by giving and receiving bread and wine, according to
his appointment, his death is shown forth (1 Cor. 11:23-26), and the worthy
receivers are, not after a corporeal and carnal manner, but by faith, made
partakers of his body and blood, with all his benefits, to their spiritual
nourishment, and growth in grace (1 Cor. 10:16).
