Review

“At the time of the Reformation, more ink was spilled on the doctrine and practice of the Lord’s Supper than on almost any other topic. Most of the debates have yet to be resolved, so what is a Christian to do to gain a better understanding of this sacrament? This concise book by Guy Waters is a helpful place to start. Waters places his discussion of the Supper squarely in the context of the Bible’s teaching about covenants, providing a particularly helpful introduction to the nature of covenant meals.”―Keith A. Mathison, Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformation Bible College; author, From Age to Age; Given for You; and The Shape of Sola Scriptura“Many Christians suffer from a spiritual depth-perception problem or theological myopia when they come to the Lord’s Supper: all they see is bread and wine. Enter Guy Waters, expert spiritual ophthalmologist. In a single consultation he restores our depth perception and reduces our myopia. Perhaps to our surprise, he takes two-thirds of his time patiently guiding us through the pages of the Old Testament. Surely the Lord’s Supper is a new covenant ordinance! But Waters knows what he is doing. Prescribing biblically crafted lenses for us, he shows us the bread and wine again and asks, ‘Do you see more clearly now?’ Read these pages carefully and you will find yourself saying, ‘Yes, it’s so much clearer now. Thank you so much; it’s wonderful!’”―Sinclair B. Ferguson, Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary; Teaching Fellow, Ligonier Ministries“In a warm and readable style, Guy Waters blesses the church again. By first taking us on an engaging tour of the Bible’s covenants, he sets the table for his central concern―that in the communion meal the people of God ‘truly dine with our covenant Head,’ the Lord Jesus Christ. From beginning to end, the reader will find biblical texts surveyed persuasively, historic theological distinctions tackled thoughtfully, and practical concerns addressed winsomely. Before you next partake of the Lord’s Supper, consume this volume first.”―David B. Garner, Vice President for Advancement and Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary; author, Sons in the Son and How Can I Know for Sure?“Don’t let this volume’s slim size trick you. In it, Guy Waters dispenses a wealth of biblical reflection. Noting the Bible’s covenantal structure and paying attention to the entire biblical canon, he places the Supper of our Lord as the fulfillment of the pattern of God’s condescending to be present with his people and to give them signs of his presence. You may not agree with all of Waters’s conclusions. But everyone will benefit from his engagement with the biblical text and his pastoral reflections on the importance of the Supper for individual believers and the gathered church.”―Shawn D. Wright, Professor of Church History, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary“In this accessible, biblical-theological approach to the Lord’s Supper, Waters demonstrates the Supper’s integral place in redemptive history and its consequent importance for the life of the church, inasmuch as Christ offers himself as spiritual nourishment to be received through faith. This message needs to be heard and heeded. I hope this book has a wide readership.”―Robert Letham, Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology, Union School of Theology

CHAPTER 1: COVENANT BASICSThe author explains six covenants in the Old Testament: Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and the new covenant in Jeremiah 31. A covenant is an agreement between God and others in which:1) God initiates the agreement and sets the conditions for life-and-death issues.2) The agreement is made without regard to the worthiness of the recipients.3) God makes promises and sets conditions for those promises to be fulfilled. The conditions are usually faith, obedience, and repentance.4) Each successive covenant reveals more of the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ, to God's people.In Genesis 2:16-17, God made a covenant with Adam. "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die." Just as death was the promise for disobedience, life would be Adam's reward for his obedience. But after Adam disobeyed God, God made the first promise of a coming Messiah. Speaking to the serpent, God said, "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel" (Genesis 3:15). The apostle Paul refers to Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of this first promise. "The God of peace will crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you" (Romans 16:20).In Genesis 6:18, God makes a covenant with Noah. "But I will establish My covenant [Hebrew, berith] with you, and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, your sons' wives with you." After the flood, God promises that "the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh" (Genesis 9:15). God made this covenant with Noah, "who found favor in the eyes of the Lord" (Genesis 6:8). The apostle Peter says that just as God saved Noah and his family, so He saves believers through faith in Jesus Christ (I Peter 3:21,22).In Genesis 17:1-2, God makes a covenant with Abraham. "I am God Almighty; walk before Me, and be blameless. I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly." This promise was made while Sarah was 90 years old (Genesis 17:17; 18:12) with a barren womb and Abraham's body was "as good as dead" (Romans 4:19). So her act of conception was the result of Abraham's faith in God's promise. "Yet with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in his faith, giving glory to God, and being fully persuaded that what God had promised, He was able also to perform" (Romans 4:20,21). The Gospel writer Luke said that in sending Christ to save sinners, God "remember[ed] His holy covenant, the oath which He swore to Abraham our father" (Luke 1:72,73). Paul said that "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law...in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith" (Galatians 3:13,14).God made a covenant with the people of Israel with Moses as His mediator. "Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep My covenant, you shall be My treasured possession among the peoples, for all the earth is Mine; and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation" (Exodus 19:1-6). "Then Moses took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, 'All that the Lord has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient!' So Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, 'Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words'" (Exodus 24:7,8). Jesus said that Moses wrote about Him, as the coming Messiah. "For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?" (John 5:46,47).In 2 Samuel 7:16, God made a covenant with David, in which God promises that "your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before Me." The arrival of Jesus was the culmination of God's promise to David. God "has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David" (Luke 1:69). "He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end" (Luke 1:32,33). David was Jesus' direct ancestor (Luke 3:31).In Jeremiah 31, God makes "a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,' declares the Lord. 'But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,' declares the Lord. 'I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. In this new covenant, God will enable people to observe His commandments from their hearts. Jesus said that the two greatest commandments are "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength" and You shall love your neighbor as yourself" (Mark 12:30,31).CHAPTER 2: COVENANT SIGNSGod created covenant signs to remind the people of His promises to them and of their obligations to Him.The sign of the covenant with Noah was the rainbow. "And God said, 'This is the sign of the covenant that I make between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh" (Genesis 9:12-15). Whenever we see a rainbow, we should remember that God promised to never again destroy the world by water.For Abraham and the Jewish people, the sign of the covenant was circumcision. "He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised. Every male throughout your generations...shall be circumcised. So shall My covenant be in your flesh an everlasting covenant" (Genesis 17:12,13). Paul explains, "Abraham received the sign of circumcision as a seal of righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised, so that righteousness would be counted to them as well, and to make him the father of the circumcised who are not merely circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised" (Romans 4:11-12). In essence, circumcision was a sign that righteousness comes from faith in God. Paul also explains that "For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus...And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to promise" (Galatians 3:26,29). Christians have the same faith that Abraham did. Abraham had faith in God to fulfill His promises. Christians have faith in Christ who was crucified for our sins and raised from the dead. Christians have hearts that have been circumcised by the Spirit (Romans 2:29; Colossians 2:11).The sign of God's covenant with the Jews as mediated by Moses was the Passover meal. This annual meal commemorated God's redemption of Israel from slavery in Egypt.Under the new covenant, both circumcision and Passover were discontinued as covenant signs. Jesus introduced two new covenant signs: baptism and the Lord's Supper.The author says that although there was no express covenant sign given to Adam, he would have gotten to eat from the tree of life had he obeyed God and not eaten from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. He was expelled from the garden of Eden so he would not then eat from the tree of life and live forever. "Then the Lord God said, 'Behold, the man has become like one of Us in knowing good and evil. Now lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever' -- therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden" (Genesis 3:22,23). This tree of life reappears in the book of Revelation. "Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month" (Revelation 22:1,2). "To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God" (Revelation 2:7). So the Bible begins and ends with the tree of life. This tree is described as something that human beings can eat from.CHAPTER 3: COVENANT MEALSWhen God redeemed Israel from Egypt, He instituted seven feasts to remind them of what He had done for them. All the feasts involve food that was to be eaten in the presence of the Lord.THE FEAST OF PASSOVEROn the eve before the Jews fled Egypt, God commanded them to kill a lamb and sprinkle its blood on the "doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they would eat it" (Exodus 12:7). When God saw the blood, His angel of death "passed over" the Jewish homes and killed all the firstborn of Egypt. The New Testament writers said that God's own Son, Jesus Christ, became the Lamb of God and died for the sins of the world. For those who put their faith in Him, the shedding of Christ's blood on the cross would protect them from having to die for their own sins (John 1:29; 1 Corinthians 5:7). In Deuteronomy 16:6, God commands Israel to eat the Passover lamb "at the place the Lord your God will choose, to make His name dwell in it," that is, the city of Jerusalem. God wanted them to enjoy the meal in His presence.THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREADThe feast of unleavened bread was to be eaten every day for one week. This reminded the Jews that they fled Egypt so quickly that they did not have time to put leaven in their bread and wait for it to rise before they baked it (Exodus 12:8, 34, 39). The New Testament writers sometimes speak of leaven as a metaphor for sin that God's redeemed people are to put away (Mark 8:15; 1 Corinthians 5:6).THE FEAST OF FIRSTFRUITS AND THE FEAST OF WEEKSThese feasts commemorated the Lord's bountiful provision in Israel's harvests (Leviticus 23:9-14, 15-22). "The firstfruits of the spring harvest" were to be brought to the priest, who presented them to the Lord, along with sacrifices, one of which is described as "a food offering to the Lord with a pleasing aroma" (Leviticus 23:10,13). The Feast of Weeks occurred "fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath" (Leviticus 23:15,16). It was a "holy convocation," a day set apart for the public worship of God commemorating His provision. Unique to this celebration was a command to set aside "a freewill offering of your hand" for "the poor and the sojourner" (Leviticus 23;22). God appointed "the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow" to come to Jerusalem for this feast (Deuteronomy 16:10,11). They, too, could acknowledge that the Lord had brought about this harvest.THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS, THE DAY OF ATONEMENT, AND THE FEAST OF BOOTHSThe Feast of Trumpets was on the 1st day of the seventh month. It was a day of solemn rest, a memorial proclaimed with the blasts of trumpets, a holy convocation" on which Israel "presented a food offering to the Lord" (Leviticus 23:24,25). On the 10th day of the seventh month was the Day of Atonement. The people were to do no work, to humble themselves, and to make atonement on their behalf before God (Leviticus 23:27-32). On the 15th day, the Feast of Booths began. It was a celebration of joy for 8 days. It commemorated God's provision to Israel while they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years (Leviticus 23:42,43). It also commemorated the Lord's provision in the fall harvest (Deuteronomy 16:13,15).Of course God never intended for food to be an end in itself, but a reminder through repentance or joyful celebration of His provision for His people. When the people sinned against God but continued to follow His rituals, He becomes disgusted. "Alas, sinful nation, people weighed down with iniquity...They have abandoned the Lord...What are your multiplied sacrifices to Me? I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed cattle; I take no pleasure in the blood of bulls, lambs or goats...Bring your worthless offerings no longer...When you spread your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you...I will not listen" (Isaiah 1:4,11,13,15). In order for the feasts to be acceptable in God's sight, the people must repent of their sin and change their ways. "Wash yourselves and make yourselves clean. Remove the evil of your deeds from My sight...Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow" (Isaiah 1:16-18).If God blesses His people with abundant harvests when they obey Him, is it surprising that He often responds to their sinfulness by taking food away from them? When they pursued idols, God punished them with hunger and famine (Deuteronomy 32:21,24). But in the latter days, God will gather "all peoples" on His mountain for a "feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine." God will "swallow up death forever" and "wipe away tears from all faces." It will be said, "Behold, this is our God; we have waited for Him, that He might save us" (Isaiah 25:6-9). How will God bring about this salvation of the people? Through His Servant, upon whom the Spirit will dwell in fullness (Isaiah 11:1-9; 42:1). God will appoint Him as "a covenant to the people, a light for the nations" (Isaiah 42:6; 49:8). He will bring salvation to the nations because He Himself will endure the punishment sinners deserve. "He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed...He was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due...My Servant will justify the many as He will bear their iniquities" (Isaiah 52:13-53:12). This Servant is Jesus Christ (Matthew 12:15-21).Should Christians, then, under the new covenant, observe these old covenant feasts? The New Testament's answer is "No," because all these feasts find their fulfillment in Jesus Christ. He is the one about whom Moses wrote (John 5:46), whose day Abraham rejoiced to see (John 8:56), and whose glory Isaiah beheld in the throne room of God (John 12:41). Hebrews 8:6 says that Jesus is the "mediator of a better covenant," the "new covenant" that was promised in Jeremiah 31:31 where God would put His law in their hearts. "When he said, 'A new covenant,' He has made the first obsolete'" (Hebrews 8:13). The Gospel writer John shows how Jesus is the fulfillment of the old covenant temple system. "The Word became flesh and dwelt (or tabernacled) among us" (John 1:14). In the Old Testament, God dwelt in a tent and later the temple. Now He abides permanently with His people in the humanity of Jesus (the incarnation). After the resurrection of Christ, the old Jewish temple was replaced by a living temple of Christ and His believers, "having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit" (Ephesians 2:20-22).Jesus is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29,36). There is no more need for Passover lambs, "for Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed" (1 Corinthians 5:7) and "it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins" (Hebrews 10:4).CHAPTER 4: THE LORD'S SUPPERJesus instituted the Lord's Supper the night before He died, when He and His disciples were celebrating Passover. He takes bread, blesses it, breaks it, and then distributes it to His disciples, saying, "This is My body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me" (Luke 22:19). Jesus then takes a cup, gives thanks, and offers it to His disciples, saying, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many" (Mark 14:24). "I tell you that I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom" (Matthew 26:29). Following these words, Jesus and His disciples sing a hymn and go out to the Mount of Olives to pray. Jesus is soon arrested while His disciples abandon Him (Matthew 26:30-35).What is missing from Jesus' celebration of Passover with His disciples? There is no mention of a lamb, the centerpiece of the Passover meal. Why not? Because Jesus Himself is "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29,36). Just as the Passover lamb was not to have any broken bones (Exodus 12:46; Numbers 9:12), so Jesus did not have any broken bones when He was crucified on the cross (John 19:33,36; Psalms 34:20). Just as "the lamb shall be an unblemished male" (Exodus 12:5) for Passover, so Jesus redeems us "with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ" (1 Peter 1:19). Just as the Passover meal was a founding ordinance of the old covenant, so the Lord's Supper is an ordinance of the new covenant. Jesus said, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood" (Luke 22:20). This new covenant is the same one that God promised in Jeremiah 31:34 where He said, "I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."The Supper has the two signs of bread and wine. They represent the body and blood of Jesus, who would be crucified the next day and die for the sins of the world. Jesus had told the crowd that "he who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life" (John 6:54). He was not talking about cannibalism, but faith. "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst" (John 6:35). Christians partake of the bread and wine to obey what Jesus said, "Do this in remembrance of Me" (Luke 22:19). We commune with our Savior, profoundly thanking Him for what He has done for each of us. "For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes" (1 Corinthians 11:26). We look back to Christ's death for our sins, and we look forward to His return, when He will drink again "of this fruit of the vine" with us in His Father's kingdom (Matthew 26:29). In the latter days, God will gather "all peoples" on His mountain for a "feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine." God will "swallow up death forever" and "wipe away tears from all faces." It will be said, "Behold, this is our God; we have waited for Him, that He might save us" (Isaiah 25:6-9).

This is the sixth book I read from the “Short Studies in Biblical Theology” series published by Crossway. I have immensely enjoyed the other five volumes that I read from this series and this work is no different. This particular work explores the Lord’s Supper.In the introduction the author wrote “Our aim is to see better how the Lord’s Supper points to and confirms the blessings and benefits that God has poured out upon his people in Jesus Christ.” Even in the introduction I thought the author made a powerful point that the Lord’s Supper is what God uses to appeal to our five senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell) to believe in the Gospel.The book consists of five chapters. Chapter one went over “Covenant Basics” in which the author surveyed the various covenants in the Old Testaments. Chapter two also looked at “Covenant Signs” in which the book went over how various covenants in Scripture had accompanying signs. Chapter two is on “Covenant Meals” while chapter four is on “The Lord’s Supper” and chapter five is on “Conclusions for the Church.”At first I didn’t think I might get as much from this book as I thought I would; I thought I actually knew a lot about the Lord’s Supper already. However the author pointed out somethings that were new to me. I really appreciated Guy Waters (author) putting the Lord’s Supper in the context of Redemptive History and especially with the unfolding of covenants in the Bible. This is especially appropriate in light of the fact that the Lord’s Supper is situated in the New Covenant and is one of the Signs of the New Covenant, with the second one being the Lord’s Supper. I took a lot of notes and found that while typology wasn’t the main point of the book per se nevertheless it helped one to think of how various covenant signs were types and signs that pointed us towards Christ.In terms of theological persuasion the author is a Covenantal Presbyterian. He’s not pushy with his view of infant baptism but here in this work he does attempt to make a case for a Covenant of Works and also making many of the covenants in the Old Testament as a Covenant of Grace. I thought readers might want to know that. Still no matter what your theological persuasion the book is overwhelmingly good in discussing the Lord’s Supper and Covenant signs. I recommend this book.
