One of the 28
Fundamental Beliefs in the
00:00:07.57\00:00:10.12
Seventh-day Adventist
Church is the Lord's Supper.
00:00:10.15\00:00:12.71
The Lord's supper is a
participation in the emblems
00:00:12.74\00:00:15.86
of the body and blood of Jesus
as an expression of faith in
00:00:15.89\00:00:19.16
Him, our Lord and Saviour.
00:00:19.19\00:00:21.19
In this experience of Communion,
Christ is present to meet
00:00:21.22\00:00:25.69
and strengthen His people,
and as we partake, we joyfully
00:00:25.72\00:00:29.59
proclaim the Lord's
death until He comes again.
00:00:29.62\00:00:32.69
Preparation for the supper
includes self examination,
00:00:32.72\00:00:37.88
repentance and confession.
00:00:37.91\00:00:39.91
The Master ordained the service
of foot washing to signify
00:00:39.94\00:00:43.68
renewed cleansing, to
express a willingness to serve
00:00:43.71\00:00:46.69
one another in Christlike
humility, and to unite
00:00:46.72\00:00:50.09
our hearts in love.
00:00:50.13\00:00:51.92
The Communion service is open
to all believing Christians,
00:00:51.96\00:00:55.15
we base this
belief on Revelation 3:20
00:00:55.18\00:01:00.20
Behold, I stand at the door
and knock, and if anyone hears
00:01:00.23\00:01:04.39
my voice and opens the
door, I will come in to him
00:01:04.42\00:01:08.46
and dine with
him and he with Me.
00:01:08.49\00:01:11.21
