Q.174. How must we receive the Lord’s supper when it is offered?
A. In receiving the Lord’s supper when it is offe red, we should reverently and attentively wait on God,[1] as we carefully observe the sacramental elements and their administration.[2] We should take specific notice of the Lord’s body[3] and meditate feelingly on his death and suffering[4] and so stir up in us a lively effect of God’s spiritual gifts.[5] We should critically examine ourselves[6] and be sorry for our sins.[7] We should earnestly hunger and thirst after Christ,[8] feeding on him by faith,[9] drawing from his fullness,[10] trusting in his merit,[11] rejoicing in his love,[12] and giving thanks for his grace.[13] We thereby renew our covenant with God[14] and our love for fellow believers.[15]
