The body and blood of Christ is food for the soul that nourishes and strengthens the new man. As the baptized endure through their battle with the old Adam and the devil, the Sacrament provides daily sustenance and strength. The fruit of the Sacrament of the Altar is the Gospel for the Christian so that we may grow in faith, love, and holiness. In faith, we receive peace with God through His forgiveness and are renewed to fulfill our vocations in His power.

Rev. Dr. James Lee, Associate Professor of Theology, Concordia University, River Forest, IL, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study the Sacrament of the Altar.
