The Lord's Supper

By: Thomas Watson

Format: 96 pages, Paperback

To Thomas Watson, the Lord’s Supper was a visible sermon, a mirror in which to gaze on the sufferin…

"Such as make the sacrament only a representation of Christ do aim short of the mystery, and come short of the comfort."

-Thomas Watson, The Lord's Supper

"God can turn stones into bread, and a sinner can turn bread into stones; the bread of life into the stone of stumbling."

-Thomas Watson, The Lord's Supper

"Why do we pray in the plural, 'Give us' [i.e. Lord's Prayer]? Why is it not said, give me? . . . It reproves narrow-spirited men who move within their own sphere only; who look only at themselves, and mind not the case of others; who leave others out of their prayers; if they have daily bread, they care not though others starve; if they are clothed, they care not though others go naked. Christ taught us to pray for others, to say, 'Give us;' but selfish persons are shut up within themselves, as the snail in the shell, and never speak a word in prayer for others."

-Thomas Watson, The Lord's Supper

"Has Christ provided such a blessed banquet for us? He does not nurse us abroad—but feeds us with His own breast—nay, with His own blood! Let us, then, study to respond to this great love of Christ. It is true, we can never parallel His love. Yet let us show ourselves thankful. We can do nothing satisfactory—but we may do something out of gratitude. Christ gave Himself as a sin-offering for us. Let us give ourselves as a thank-offering for Him. If a man redeems another out of debt—will he not be grateful? How deeply do we stand obliged to Christ—who has redeemed us from hell!"

-Thomas Watson, The Lord's Supper
