Partaking of the Lords Supper is one of the Christians most solemn and sweet acts of worship. Christ commands His disciples, This do in remembrance of me (Luke 22:19). To those who neglect the Supper, Thomas Wadsworth says, I beseech you, consider whose command it is you break. It is the command of the Lord Jesus; to remember Him in this Supper is a debt you owe to Him, your Saviour, Lord, and Head; it is a command that bears the superscription of the most supreme authority in heaven or earth (Wadsworth, 136).
