Communion, also called the Lord’s Supper, is a sacred act of worship established by Jesus. It is a reminder of His sacrifice—His body broken and His blood shed for the forgiveness of sins. For believers, it is both a memorial of Christ’s death and a celebration of the new covenant we have through Him.

For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, ‘This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me (1 Corinthians 11:23–25 ).
