The Dordrecht
Confession of Faith, 1632
X. Of the Holy Supper
We also confess and observe the
breaking of bread, or Supper, as the Lord Christ Jesus before
His suffering instituted it with bread and wine, and observed
and ate with His apostles, commanding them to observe it in remembrance
of Him; which they accordingly taught and practiced in the church,
and commanded that it should be kept in remembrance of the suffering
and death of the Lord; and that His precious body was broken,
and His blood shed, for us and all mankind, as also the fruits
hereof, namely, redemption and eternal salvation, which He purchased
thereby, showing such great love toward us sinful men; whereby
we are admonished to the utmost, to love and forgive one another
and our neighbor, as He has done unto us, and to be mindful to
maintain and live up to the unity and fellowship which we have
with God and one another, which is signified to us by this breaking
of bread. Matt. 26:26; Mark 14:22; Acts 2:42; I Cor. 10:16; 11:23.
