COMMUNION SCRIPTURES

COMMUNION SCRIPTURES

Virgil Warren, PhD

         There are many aspects to the total meaning of the Lord's Supper, and there are many ways of applying those meanings to Christian life and worship. As a result any number of scripture passages connect naturally to the experience of coming around the Lord's table with fellow Christians. Below are several portions of scripture that belong among those that speak of matters relevant to this worship experience.
