# Question 168: What is the Lord’s Supper? | Westminster Larger Catechism

The Lord’s Supper is a Sacrament of the New Testament, wherein, by giving and receiving bread and wine according to the appointment of Jesus Christ, his death is shewed forth; and they that worthily communicate feed upon his body and blood, to their spiritual nourishment and growth in grace; have their union and communion with him confirmed; testify and renew their thankfulness, and engagement to God, and their mutual love and fellowship each with other, as members of the same mystical body.

Scripture proofs: Luke 22:20; Matt. 26:26-28; 1 Cor. 11:23-26; 1 Cor. 10:16; 1 Cor. 11:24; 1 Cor. 10:14-16, 21; 1 Cor. 10:17.
