As the Westminster Confession of Faith states, the Table, received in faith, is for our “spiritual nourishment and growth.”4 It not only strengthens our union with Jesus, but also our communion with fellow believers in Christ. As we come together to the Supper to feed spiritually on Christ (John 6:53–58), he draws us closer not only to himself, but also to others in the body (1 Cor. 10:17).
