Partaking of Christ Himself

The sacraments signify Christ and His benefits, as evidenced in 1Cor 10–11, by the Spirit's instruction that, when we come to the Lord's Supper, it should be Christ Himself of Whom we come to partake. The lesson centers on the theological significance of sacraments as divine signs and seals of the covenant of grace, emphasizing that they point not to human institutions or rituals, but directly to Christ and His redemptive work. Ultimately, the sacraments are presented as multidimensional invitations to remember Christ's past work, experience His present presence, and anticipate His future return, all within the context of a living, unified body.
