Our Saviour instituted the Lord's Supper as a sacrament in the Church in order to strengthen our faith, and seal and confirm God's promises to His people. The signs or tokens are bread and wine: we may see these tokens with our eyes and taste them with our mouths. In them, Christ's death is portrayed to us, and the blessings that flow from it are communicated to us through faith. As surely as we see and participate in the actions around the table, so surely we may know that Christ gives His blessings to us.
