The wonder and majesty of The Lord's Supper has been celebrated for centuries. However, for all its beauty, Holy Communion can be hard to understand. In this class, James Hamilton helps us unpack some of the richness found in experiencing Holy Communion.
Holy Communion is the Christian “Thanksgiving.” It is this act of thanksgiving that Jesus commanded us to perform, in remembrance of God’s gift of salvation through Christ’s death and resurrection. It is the “family meal” shared by Christians, an act of communion– of sharing as a community– and an act of faith. If you are a member of a liturgical Protestant church, chances are you celebrate Holy Communion regularly, and yet you may be unfamiliar with the rich layers of tradition and meaning in this sacrament.
