"An Explanation of Luther's Small Catechism"

3. The
Elevation of the Host, in which the wafer or host is adored as the body
of Christ.]
A GREAT MYSTERY. The Lord's Supper is a great mystery; but also a great
comfort. We cannot understand how Christ can give us His body and blood
in this sacrament. But it is the part of faith to take the Saviour at
His word. This the Lutheran Church does in her doctrine.
QUESTIONS.--1. By what different names is this sacrament known and why?
2. From what do we learn what the Lord's Supper is? 3. What is to be
said about the earthly elements? 4. When Christ gave His disciples the
bread and the wine, what did He say? 5. What do we receive, therefore,
in the Lord's Supper? 6. What is to be said about Zwingli's view? 7.
What is to be said about the Roman Catholic view, and what is it called?
8. What other false doctrine besides these two is to be rejected? 9. How
may the Reformed, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic doctrines of the Lord's
Supper be compared? 10. Is the true doctrine to be rejected because we
do not understand it?
SCRIPTURE VERSES.
