Right reception of the Lord's Supper has a "cheering"
effect on the soul. The sight of the bread broken, and the
wine poured out--reminds us how full, perfect, and
complete is our salvation! Those vivid emblems remind us
what an enormous price has been paid for our redemption.
They press on us the mighty truth--that believing on Christ,
we have nothing to fear, because a sufficient payment has
been made for our sin debt. The "precious blood of Christ"
answers every charge that can be brought against us. God
can be "just and the one who justifies, those who have
faith in Jesus" (Romans 3:26).
- J. C. Ryle, The Lord's Supper
