On the eve of His death, our Lord Jesus Christ instituted what is commonly known as the Lord's Supper (Luke 22:15-20) as a remembrance of Himself. The scriptural injunction is that "as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup ye do shew forth the Lord's death till He come". Its observance is fulfilling Christ's request to His people, and has no meritorious significance as regards the salvation of the participant (I Corinthians 11:23 -26). All believers have the responsibility to examine themselves prior to participating (I Corinthians 11:27-29).
Christians at Bethel Bible Chapel gather for the Lord's Supper each Sunday (Acts 20:7). This gathering takes the form of spontaneous, Spirit-led expressions of worship in prayers, hymns, reading of the scriptures and sharing.
The loaf typifies the Body of Christ, "Take, eat, this is My body given for you." (Mark 14:22) It also expresses the unity of the Church "For we being many are one bread and one body." (I Corinthians 10:17)
The cup typifies Christ's shed blood, "For this is my blood of the New Testament which is shed for many for the remission of sins." (Matthew 26:28)
After giving thanks, the loaf is broken and passed from one to another among the Believers. In like manner, the cup or individual cups are passed.
