Concord Matters — Luther’s Small Catechism. The How and Who of Holy Communion

If the bread and wine are truly the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ AND we receive full forgiveness of sins, life and salvation, how is this even possible and who is even worthy to receive it? The Sacrament of the Altar gives exactly what Jesus says: Forgiveness of sins. The Sacrament of the Altar is for exactly those who Jesus welcomes: sinners. In faith, receive and go in peace!

Rev. Dr. Matthew Richard, pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Minot, ND joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study the How’s and Who’s of the Sacrament of the Altar.
