Jesus plainly said, “Do this,” yet here is “a warning against treating the Lord’s Supper as something we do.” That might be puzzling.

Here are a few Bible verses that tell us what we do, reverently, in the Sacrament:

We bless the cup, we break the bread, and we partake. (1 Cor. 10:16, 17)
We take, we eat, we drink, and we remember. (Matt. 26:26-28)
We proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. (1 Cor. 11:26)

So while indeed we do all those things, it is God who enables us and blesses us. The faith by which we can participate worthily, and all the benefits of participating, are entirely God’s doing.

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above.” (James 1:17a ESV)
