A theological exploration of how baptism and Communion shape our lives together as God’s people, explaining how the physical water, bread, and wine embody the promises, grace, and presence of Christ.
Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are more than just water, bread, and wine. They are God’s promises to us in physical form.
What is happening when someone passes through the waters of baptism? What’s the significance of eating bread and drinking wine together as a church on Sunday mornings? What’s the point of these physical substances?
Tim Chester guides us through the Bible, explaining how the sacraments, embodying the promises of God in physical form, were given to us to strengthen our faith and shape our lives. The physical bread, wine, and water are a confirmation of our union with Christ. Chester aims to help us treasure baptism and Communion and approach them rightly, so we can receive the full benefit God intends them to physically bring us.
Explains how baptism and Communion nurture our faith by physically confirming God’s promises to us
Looks beyond the usual debates to explore how the sacraments are intended to shape Christians’ lives
Explains how baptism and Communion relate to God’s covenants throughout the Bible
Empowers churches to explain the meaning of baptism and communion to their members
Makes a clear and compelling case against both the traditional Roman Catholic position on baptism and Communion and the common evangelical viewpoint today
Foreword written by theologian Sinclair B. Ferguson
