The Prayer of Confession
The Assurance of Pardon
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
The Reading of Scripture
Job 40

§ The Confession of Faith
Heidelberg Catechism Question #78-79
Leader: Do the bread and wine become the real Body and Blood of Christ?
People: No. Just as the water of baptism is not changed into Christ’s Blood and does not itself wash away sins but is simply a divine sign and assurance of these things, so too the holy bread of the Lord’s Supper does not become the actual Body of Christ, even though it is called the Body of Christ in keeping with the nature and language of sacraments.
Leader: Why then does Christ call the bread His Body and the cup His Blood, or the new covenant in His Blood, and Paul use the words, a sharing in Christ’s Body and Blood?
People: Christ has good reason for these words. He wants to teach us that just as bread and wine nourish the temporal life, so too His crucified Body and poured-out Blood are the true food and drink of our souls for eternal life. But more important, He wants to assure us, by this visible sign and pledge, that we, through the Holy Spirit’s work, share in His true Body and Blood as surely as our mouths receive these holy signs in His remembrance, and that all of His suffering and obedience are as definitely ours as if we personally had suffered and made satisfaction for our sins.

The Assurance of Pardon

Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.

§ The Confession of Faith
Heidelberg Catechism
Question #80-82
Leader: How does the Lord’s Supper differ from the Roman Catholic Mass?
People: The Lord’s Supper declares to us that all our sins are completely forgiven through the one Sacrifice of Jesus Christ, which He Himself accomplished on the cross once for all. It also declares to us that the Holy Spirit grafts us into Christ, Who with His true Body is now in heaven at the right Hand of the Father where He wants us to worship Him.
Leader: Who should come to the Lord’s Table?
People: Those who are displeased with themselves because of their sins, but who nevertheless trust that their sins are pardoned and that their remaining weakness is covered by the suffering and death of Christ, and who also desire more and more to strengthen their faith and to lead a better life. Hypocrites and those who are unrepentant, however, eat and drink judgment on themselves.
Leader: Should those be admitted to the Lord’s Supper who show by what they profess and how they live that they are unbelieving and ungodly?
People: No, that would dishonor God’s Covenant and bring down God’s Wrath upon the entire congregation. Therefore, according to the instruction of Christ and His apostles, the Christian church is duty-bound to exclude such people, by the official use of the keys of the kingdom, until they reform their lives.
