What REALLY Happens When We Take Communion? The Meaning of the Lord’s Supper

What really happens when we take Communion? In Clarity, we take a deeper look at the Lord’s Supper, Communion, and the Eucharist, exploring its biblical meaning, history, and significance across Christian traditions. From Passover and the Day of Atonement to the Last Supper and the future marriage supper of the Lamb, we discover how Communion points to the fulfillment of God’s entire redemptive story in Jesus Christ. This teaching also examines the major Christian views of Communion—including transubstantiation, consubstantiation, sacramental realism, and the symbolic/memorial view—while emphasizing that the heart of Communion is not merely what happens to the bread and cup, but what happens to us as we encounter Christ, remember His sacrifice, receive spiritual nourishment, and participate in the unity of His body.
