Why take the Sacrament?

Answer 1

Roman Catholic AnswerUsually when referring to "the" Sacrament, one is referring to the Blessed Sacrament, the Sacrament of the Altar, the Most Holy Eucharist. The answer to this is obvious, Our Blessed Lord, Himself, said, "Take, eat, This is My Body". So we "take" the Sacrament because it is a command of God, Himself.

Answer 2

The answer is found in Scripture.

Jesus said:

"This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me." - Luke 22:19

Paul also repeats this:

.....and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me." - 1Corinthians 11:24

So Christians take the Lord's Supper to remember that Christ died on the cross as sacrifice for sin. It is purely a time to remember The Bible does not say there is any other significance spiritual or otherwise in the Lord's Supper.

Answer 3
