What People Are Saying?
- My biblical opinion of the Lord’s Supper (Saint Mark 14:22-24) is that it’s a memorial, as well as a Holy Communion, along with a Fellowship that commemorates Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for humanities’ sins. It’s also called The Eucharist, meaning “Thanksgiving,” This commemorative meal symbolizes the final meal Jesus shared with His Disciples before being crucified.

- The Word of God says, every person is to examine himself, so that he does not eat and drink domination on himself (1 Cor. 27:29). Therefore, we’re to partake in the “Lord’s Supper in a worthy manner. The Lord’s Supper is a fellowship meal, and a sacred symbol representing the body and blood of Jesus Christ, His sacrificed for the remission of sin. This symbol, an intentional ordinance, was established by the Lord Himself, we’re to do this in remembrance of Him, and we’re to do it often (Matthew 26:27).

The Gospel of Mark 14:22-24, captures one of the most intimate tender moments in the upper room in Jesus’ ministry, the final meal with his disciples before his crucifixion. In verse 24, Jesus states that His blood "is poured out for many". In ancient biblical history, covenant relationships always required the shedding of blood to bind the agreement. By invoking this language, Jesus reveals that He is establishing a New Covenant. This cup that was poured out for us, for the forgiveness of sins. Instead of the blood of sacrificial animals under the Mosaic Law, Christ's ultimate sacrifice that permanently covers all human sin.
