Publisher's Synopsis
The Meaning of This Service is a sermon written by Richard Leonard Adams in 1846. In this book, Adams explores the significance of the Christian sacrament of communion, also known as the Eucharist or Lord's Supper. He examines the historical and biblical roots of the practice, as well as its theological and spiritual implications for believers.Adams argues that communion is not simply a symbolic ritual, but a deeply meaningful act of worship that connects believers to the life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. He emphasizes the importance of approaching the sacrament with reverence and humility, and encourages Christians to reflect on the meaning of Christ's sacrifice and their own relationship with God.Throughout the book, Adams draws on scripture and theological tradition to support his arguments, and provides practical guidance for Christians seeking to deepen their understanding and experience of communion. He also addresses common questions and concerns about the practice, such as who should participate and how often it should be observed.Overall, The Meaning of This Service is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of one of the central practices of the Christian faith, and an excellent resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding and appreciation of communion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
