Episode #41 – The Lord’s Supper

Episode Summary:

Jen Wilkin, JT English, Kyle Worley, and Mason King discuss the history and theology of the Lord’s Supper.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

  • The Lord’s Supper is one of two ordinances/sacraments. What is an ordinance or sacrament?

  • Where would we go in the bible to talk about the Lord’s Supper?

  • How does the Lord’s supper connect with broader biblical/theological themes?

  • What is happening in the Lord’s supper?

  • What are the different views on the Lord’s Supper?

Helpful Definitions:

  • Ordinances: Baptism & the Lord’s Supper are the means by which the people of God rehearse the story of God communally.

  • Transubstantiation: The bread and the cup are literally transformed into the body and blood of Jesus. Jesus Christ’s presence is in the elements in a physical way.

  • Consubstantiation: Christ's presence is physically there but not that the elements are actually the body and blood of Jesus. His presence is in and around.

  • Spiritual Presence: In the elements and in the proceedings of communion Christ is spiritually present with his people.

  • Momoralism: Christ is not uniquely present physically or spiritually in the Lord’s supper. It is simply a sign of remembrance.

  • Eutychian: Confusing the divine and human properties of Jesus.

  • Nestorian: Separating the two natures of Jesus so that they are no longer the same person.

  • Matthew 26:26-29, Exodus 12, Jeremiah 31, Isaiah, Revelation 19, Exodus 16
