What Is The Sacrament Of The Altar? _It is the true body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ under the bread and wine, for us Christians to eat and to drink, instituted by Christ Himself._ What is the benefit of such eating and drinking? _That is shown us by these words, "Given and shed for you for the remission of sins"; namely, that in the Sacrament forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation are given us through these words. For where there is forgiveness of sins there is also life and salvation._ 1. You have often seen how on certain Sundays confirmed members of our church went up to the altar to receive bread and wine to eat and drink, while the minister said to them: "Take and eat; this is the true body of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Take and drink; this is the true blood of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." We call this sacred act the _Lord's Supper,_ or the _Sacrament of the Altar. What does this sacred act mean?_ 2. The holy evangelists, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and St. Paul the Apostle write about the Lord's Supper thus: _"Our Lord Jesus Christ," etc. The Lords Supper was not instituted by men, by the Church, _but by Christ Himself._ Therefore it is _a sacred act._ The Lord instituted His Supper _"the same night in which He was betrayed,"_ in the night before His sufferings and death. After He had given His disciples the bread and the cup, He added: _"This do in remembrance of Me." The Lord _commanded_ His disciples that after His ascension _they should do as He had done,_ that they should take bread and wine, give thanks over them, and eat and drink in remembrance of Him. _He commanded His Church to celebrate His Supper to the end of days._ "As often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death _till He come."_ 1 Cor. 11,26.
