There is no other name under Heaven given to men by which we must be saved –Acts 4:12
Jesus frequently prayed, often in solitude, with John 17 capturing one critical prayer intended for all disciples. He sought glory for Himself while emphasizing unity among believers. Jesus defines eternal life as knowing the true God, advocating for protection and understanding amid spiritual dangers. This unity transcends institutional divides, fostering love among diverse disciples.
The Lord’s Supper is not just a symbolic ritual but a means of maintaining the Mystical Union with Christ, crucial for salvation. Jesus’ words in John 6 reveal its significance, and 1 Corinthians 10 emphasizes mutual participation in Christ’s body and blood. This union, initiated at baptism, requires continued support through the Lord’s Supper and other means for its preservation until reaching Heaven.
The writer, a Lutheran, compares experiences at Catholic, Baptist, and Evangelical churches, reflecting on the differences in their observance of the Lord’s Supper. They question its nature as a simple remembrance or ongoing sacrifice and explore the mystical union with Jesus it symbolizes, delving into the “how” and “why.”
