28 - What is the deeper meaning of the Lord's supper?

In this insightful episode of One Basics, Johan Toet unpacks the deep meaning of the Lord’s Supper, tracing its roots back to the Jewish Passover and revealing its fulfilment in Jesus Christ.

With clarity and conviction, he demonstrates how the lamb’s blood, which spared Israel from death, foreshadowed the greater sacrifice of Christ, who established the new covenant with His own blood.

Rather than a mournful ritual, Johan emphasizes that the Lord’s Supper is a joyful celebration of freedom, a reminder that through Jesus we have been delivered from sin and death.

This teaching will equip you to approach communion with fresh faith and gratitude, rejoicing in the victory already won through Christ.

Tune in to rediscover the richness of the Lord’s Supper and celebrate the life, freedom, and covenant you have in Him!
