Commentators emphasize that participating in the Lord's Supper is more than a personal remembrance; it is a powerful public "proclamation." The Greek word used implies an active, and as some scholars note, oral declaration. By partaking, believers collectively announce to the world and to each other that Christ's death is the foundation of their life and hope.
