The Large Catechism: Sacrament of the Altar, Part 1

We receive in the Sacrament exactly what Jesus tells us: the body and blood of Christ for our forgiveness. Martin Luther wanted to ensure that all who received the Sacrament understood and valued the gifts of Christ as they partook. He asked three important questions: What is the Lord’s Supper? What are the benefits? Who is to receive it? These questions are answered in a simple, thorough manner, not only to be faithful to the Word, but that everyone who comes to the altar may receive a clear conscience in Christ.Rev.
