On this week’s episode of Christendom and the World, Pastor Andrew Preus responds to Larry Sanger’s recent interview on On the Line (watch here). In that discussion, Sanger wrestles with whether Christ’s words, “This is my body… this is my blood,” should be taken literally or metaphorically. Pastor Preus engages these questions head-on, examining the biblical grammar, the meaning of “mystery,” and how Christ Himself defines the reality of His Supper. This episode shows why Christians confess the true body and blood of Christ, not by human reasoning, but by humble faith in His Word.
