The Catechized Life: What is the Benefit of the Sacrament of the Altar

We continue in The Sacrament of the Altar and consider how bodily eating and drinking can do such great things, if the forgiveness of sins is automatic for all who eat and drink Jesus’ body and blood, how we can best prepare to receive the Lord’s Supper worthily, some forms of “outward training” that are beneficial in worthy reception of the Lord’s Supper, how we understand “closed Communion,” and whether Christians with a weak faith should come to the Sacrament. Rev. Mark Bestul, Pastor of Calvary Lutheran Church in Elgin, Illinois joins host Rev. Sean Smith to discuss the Sacrament of the Altar.
