Have you experienced what baptism pictures, i.e., the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ for your salvation? Are you experiencing what the Lord’s Supper symbolizes i.e., confessed sins and fellowship with the Lord? When Christ commanded the church to observe two ordinances He gave us pictures of two important Christian realities. Baptism pictures union with Christ and the Lord’s Supper pictures communion with Christ. Just as the believing sinner is united to Christ in salvation once, so the believer is baptized once. Because fellowship or communion with Christ is repeated by the Christian so does the believer repeat the ordinance of Communion or the Lord’s Supper repeatedly.
