Q: How often and when should Christians partake of "the Lord's Supper" as directed by Jesus to remember His death on the cross for the sins of the world?
W.S., Northern Ireland
A: The expression "Lord's Supper" is used only once in the New Testament, in 1Corinthians 11:20, where it appears as a substitute term for the Passover. Jesus Christ Himself specifically referred to this observance as the Passover (Luke 22:8,11,15). He kept the Passover, with the new symbols of bread and wine, on the date specified in Leviticus 23 for this annual observance, namely the 14th of Nisan (also known as Abib) on the Hebrew calendar.
The Passover is a memorial to Christ's death (1Corinthians 5:7; 11:20-27), and memorial ceremonies are observed once a year. This is certainly the custom of observances described in the Bible as well as most of mankind's secular observances.
