The Salutary Gift: Lenten Meditations on the Lord’s Supper
Christ won the forgiveness of sins for us on Calvary. He turns around and offers us the same forgiveness in the Sacrament of our Lord’s body and blood. That truly makes this blessed Supper a “salutary gift.” But that’s not all. There are a number of different images and metaphors used in Holy Scripture to highlight the blessings of the Lord’s Supper, many of which are reflected in our hymns.
