Why Does the Church Have a Supper -- 1 Corinthians 11:17-34

Why does the Church have a supper? Great question. Simply, we have it because Jesus commands us to do it, which is a really gracious thing for him to do. It is a commemoration of the redemptive work of Christ on our behalf. It is covenantal, ordinary, and experiential. This means that those who have been brought into the new covenant through faith are to come to the table regularly so that they can experience the reality of God's grace in Christ.
