The Sacraments
The sacraments are outward, visible signs of inward, invisible grace—but we must not confuse the sign with the thing signified! Alistair Begg helps us to distinguish between the symbols of baptism and the Lord’s Supper and the realities to which they point. These ordinances are given to believers as commands from Christ in order to commemorate and proclaim Him. When we share in them, our faith is strengthened and our anticipation for Christ’s return grows.
