It is not the physical or material that saves; it is the spiritual....

Christ saves us spiritually by His physical offering which has been "completed" and accepted by God as paying for all the sins of His flock.

And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.

For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

But wisdom is justified of all her children.

Luke 7:29-35

Thank you. Those verses affirm the Reformers’ position regarding the efficacy and administration of the Lord’s Supper.
