How Important is the Lord's Supper?

Ephesians 3:10-11.

“His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord”

When we consider the Lord’s Supper it’s important to understand its purpose. When we understand it’s purpose then questions like how it is observed and how often we take it can be answered easier.

Christians have assembly obligations… the Lord’s Supper is one of those. Certainly partaking of the bread and the wine reminds us of Jesus’ body and blood and all the things represented by those things including the establishment of the new Covenant.

However something else happens as suggested in the Ephesians text… God’s wisdom is on display to heavenly/spiritual beings… demonic and angelic.

Think about this, as we are fulfilling our assembly obligations, including the Lord’s Supper, Satan is furious and God is happy.

When Christians decide to stay home and neglect the assembly and the Lord’s Supper… Satan is smugly smiling and God is sad.

Our assembly obligations have significance to ourselves, to our fellowman and to spiritual beings in the Heavens.

How often should we take the Lord’s Supper? Apostolic example suggests weekly and that sounds pretty smart to me considering that every time we do... God's wisdom is on display.
