Your Faith Journey - Finding God Through Words, Song And Praise

As we experience this last Lenten service focusing on Luther’s Small Catechism, our topic is Holy Communion. Christians have many names for this meal. It is sometimes called the Sacrament of the Altar to emphasize the importance of  Christ’s sacrifice for our sin. More often it is referred to as Holy Communion to accent the intimate bond created between those  who come to the meal and its host, Jesus Christ. Some also refer to this meal as the Eucharist, a Greek term meaning “thanksgiving.” And, in the New Testament, the name most often used is the Lord’s Supper, identifying whose supper it is – it is the Lord’s Supper, not our supper.
