A Mounted Picture

Virgil Warren, christir.org PDF

The Lord’s Supper is like a peg on a wall. It is useless aside from what we hang on it; yet it is crucial for holding up what needs to hang there.

Likewise, these emblems have no significance in themselves—only in what they’re for. They mean what we mean into them. Instead of eating a piece of flatbread and taking a sip of grape juice, we hang on them a picture of our Lord at the conclusion of his life.
