	The Lord's Supper
		The Corinthian Christians had made a mockery of the Lord’s Supper by turning it into a feast Paul reminded them, “Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord” (1 Corinthians 11:27).
		The Lord’s Supper is often called the Communion because we are in communion with the very death of Christ at our partaking.
		The Lord’s Supper also serves another purpose according to Paul, “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till he come” (1 Corinthians 11:26).

	The Lord's Supper: Feast or Famine?
		The Lord's Supper, sometimes called communion, the Table of the Lord, the agape or the Eucharist, is limited in most churches to a sip of wine and a piece of bread.

	The Lord's Supper
		The Lord instituted the Supper on the eve of His impending death in the context of a Passover meal.

	The Lord's Supper, the Real Presence and the Incarnation
		According to transubstantiation, the transformed elements of the Lord's Supper are a hybrid substance that is neither truly bread and wine, lacking their substance, nor truly our Lord's body and blood, lacking their attributes.
		Lutherans often choose not to use the word "local" when referring to their view of the real presence in the Lord's Supper elements, but the issue here is merely that of defining one's terms.
		The consensus of Reformed teaching on the way in which Christ is present in the Lord's Supper may be summarized as follows: there is absolutely no corporeal presence of Christ whatsoever in the Lord's Supper.

	Rediscovering the Lord’s Supper
		The supper becomes the Lord’s Supper as it is preceded by the bread and followed by the cup.

		Mankind's spiritualpilgrimage, like Taylor's, concludes with the anticipation of the espousalbetween Elect souls and Christ (2.115), and of the heavenly feast, whichthe Lord's Supper commemorates and foreshadows (1.8, 2.60B, "Valediction").

	Revising FPC Lord's Supper No.6: Bread, Mar. 4.2001
		In any case, the church's historic practice of the Lord's Supper is not as uniform in regard to the bread as it has been in regard to the wine.
		Wine also signifies to us that the Lord's Supper is a feast, and that in eating and drinking we are celebrating with thanksgiving the life of love, and peace, and eternal joy that Christ has given us by his death.
		Passover was a remembrance of Israel's deliverance from Egypt and the unleavened bread used in the feast and the requirement to remove yeast from Israelite homes during the feast of unleavened bread are recollections of Israel's hurried departure on the night of the 10th plague.
