NJHD 210, 212, 213 - the Holy Supper

NJHD 210, 212, 213
The Holy Supper was instituted by the Lord,
that by it
there may be conjunction of the church with heaven,
thus with the Lord:
therefore it is the most holy thing of worship.

In the spiritual sense,
the Lord's "body" or "flesh," and the "bread,"
signifies the good of love;
and the Lord's "blood" and the "wine,"
the good of faith;
and "eating" is appropriation and conjunction.

. . . when a person partakes of the bread,
which is the body,
he is conjoined to the Lord
by the good of love to Him
from Him;
and when he partakes of the wine,
which is the blood,
he is conjoined to the Lord
by the good of faith in Him
from Him.
But it is to be known that the conjunction with the Lord
by the Sacrament of the Supper,
is effected with those alone
who are in the good of love and faith
in the Lord from the Lord.
With these there is conjunction by the Holy Supper;
with others there is presence,
but not conjunction.
