If a child were to ask you what the Lord's Supper means and why you take it, how well prepared are you to give an answer? With their typical thoroughness, the Puritans open the Bible to teach us the significance of the Supper. In so doing, they lead us into the wonders of God's covenant. It is amazing but true: undeserving sinners feed by faith on Jesus Christ. --Paul M. Smalley, coeditor of Feasting with Christ: Meditations on the Lord's Supper
