A.

Communion. Preachers must be diligent in teaching about the Lord's Supper, so that it will not be despised through their fault -4 f. 2173 ff. 2209.

This is not to be achieved by laws, but by teaching about the benefits and harms of the same - 5. 141 f.

For the use of the same, people should also be admonished to confess beforehand - 1660.

on which scriptural word it is based - 32. 134 f.

is the only ceremony that Christ instituted, in which his Christians are to gather, practice, and keep themselves in one accord - 1335. 2211.

can be called a thank offering, i.e. not as a sacrament, but the remembrance of it - 2189 f. 2194. 2260 f.

Evidence from Sacred Scripture and Papal Law that it is to be handed to the laity under both forms - 1966 ff.

Essence: is the true body and blood of JEsu Christ, conceived in and under the bread in God's Word - 16. 136. 334. 1652.

the word makes it that it is not pure bread and wine, but Christ's body and blood - 136 f. 1652 (§47).

The body and blood of Christ is the pledge and seal for the words of the promise - 2165 f.

the faith of neither the giver nor the receiver belongs to its essence, i.e. to it being a sacrament -135 f.

The book presents the fellowship which all Christians have among themselves in good and evil things - 1907 ff. 1997. 1998.

Effect: works forgiveness, life and bliss - 16 f. 138 f.

not by works (eating and drinking), but by the words of God, taken in faith-17. 131 f. 1646.

reminds us of the infinite blessing of our redemption from hell through Christ's suffering for the practice of our faith - 2197 f.

renews and refreshes us for all good works toward our neighbor and for fighting against evil and injustice for the exercise of our love - 2198.

strengthens and comforts in temptations - 145 f. 1656.

where faith goes right in the Lord's Supper, the heart must become glad of the testament, and warm and melt in God's love: there then follow praise and thanksgiving with a sweet heart - 1334.

Usage. Necessity of it: God has placed his glory and service in this sacrament, that one should remember him in it, i.e. praise, glorify and thank him for his love and grace, shown through his suffering and death - 2177 ff. it is a grave sin not to hear the gospel and to despise such a rich meal, to which they are invited - 1335.

who use it seldom and lazily, dishonor God in His endowment, as if He had instituted unnecessary things; then they despise the memory of Christ and do not thank Him for His suffering; moreover, they give others an annoying example - 2185 f.

who evade the sacrament for a long time are not to be considered Chrffts - 141. 2231 f.

Two reasons for receiving it: 1) that Christ has commanded and appointed it to give thanks and praise to Him, i.e. to remember Him; 2) that we may obtain grace and comfort for ourselves in our many troubles against the devil, the world and the flesh - 142 ff. 2175 ff.

With the use of it one gives God a twofold honor: 1) one keeps his endowment and institution; 2) one celebrates his memory, i.e. one brings him a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving - 2183 ff.

If one feels cold and reluctant to the Sacrament, the use of it is the best means to warm up such frost and reluctance - 2199.

He who for fear of man omits to confess publicly the true doctrine of the gospel by the use of the Lord's Supper under both forms has denied God and the faith - 2210 ff. 2216 f. 2218 ff. 2229 f.

because of a pending lawsuit, one should not abstain from it - 2222 ff.

worthy use of it: does not stand on our worthiness, but on faith in the word of command and promise - 17. 140. 143 f. 1997.

He who feels his need and sin is worthy and skillful, for it is appointed for our comfort and salvation - 2204. 2249.

those are skillful who bear right remorse and sorrow for their sin and have frightened consciences -1656.

two ways of receiving the Sacrament: in thanksgiving and supplication - 2205 (§ 72).

unworthy use of it: it does not depend on faith to actually receive it, although it is received unworthily-131. 137.

To go without faith is to make Christ a liar, as if you said, "I do not know or believe that my sin is forgiven here.

an uncertain and doubting heart must not receive it - 1954.

how to behave in doubts about worthy or unworthy reception - 1996.

Administration. Right and power to administer the same have all Christians - 1573 f. 1576 ff.

the words of the Consecration must be spoken in full - 2245.

To mix the wine with water is a middle thing; however, it is better to take pure wine, because this means the louder, unadulterated gospel - 2241 f.

It is free to receive the sacrament with hands, if no annoyance arises from it - 2226 ff.

of the papists. They use it as a work to earn grace and sell it to others - 2205.

In addition to the general confession to one's neighbor, there is also a special one, where one has angered the other, so that he repents of it - 2154.

before we come before God and ask for forgiveness,

we must confess our guilt to our neighbor; for no one does to his neighbor what he should - 2153 f. actual and private. Necessity: is not necessary, but useful and not to be despised - 2249.

is a precious, comforting treasure of the gospel, to which Christians should always be tempted and enticed - 2153.

he who despises confession despises the Gospel - 2156 f.

Whoever abuses the freedom from the compulsion of confession, as if he were now never allowed to confess, shall not be counted among Christians - 1229 (§17).

Essence: consists 1) in the confession of one's sins, 2)-in absolution; but not in the exact enumeration of all sins, perfect repentance and satisfaction, as the papists teach -14. 1226 ff. 1237 f. 1660. 2154.

Effect: serves where there is a heart that feels its sin and desires comfort, it has some refuge here, finding God's word proclaiming forgiveness - 2154.

is not based on our faith, but on God's word and order - 2103 ff.

of heretics and unbelieving church servants is a right baptism - 2064 ff. 2101.

The papists' baptism is right, but by their shameful teaching they make baptism unable to create its power-2102; so that no one can rejoice or be comforted by it-2098.

The baptism of the rebaptizers is absurd; for even in rebaptism they cannot know whether the baptized person really believes or is not pretending to believe, therefore their baptism is 1) blasphemous, 2) uncertain, and with its power and meaning, it takes repentance as the third sacrament in itself, which is nothing other than baptism, insofar as it brings about a new life - 133 f.

the word makes the water baptism -13 f. 125. 1691. faith does not belong to its essence; but if

If it is distributed according to the three essential parts, one receives the right baptism, even if neither the distributor nor the recipient believed anything - 130 ff. 2071 ff. 2063 f. 2103 ff.

A baptism without water, performed merely with God's word, is not baptism - 2128 ff.

Whether one has received baptism worthily and not in vain and to his ruin is shown by the life of the baptized; for where it is received in faith and continues therein, there also follows its fruit, a new life - 2108 ff.

Where a baptized person lives in sins, he has no more than the name and appearance of Christianity, so that he deceives himself - 2111 f.

always remains, so that the one who has fallen into sin always has access to it anew through faith - 133 f. 2121.

according to the literal sense and the meaning, it would be more correct to immerse the baptized person completely - 2113 f.

A baptism of necessity should never be done without witnesses - 2132 f. Emergency baptism, performed without witnesses, shall not be valid, but the child shall be baptized publicly in church, because one must be certain of the sacrament, as of God's word - 2133 f. 2135.
