Marriage is a type:

“For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. (Ephesians 5)

This means that sexual intercourse is a type of communion. Knowing this helps us to instinctively answer certain questions rightly.

Q1: Are we in any danger of communion’s losing its special character?
A1: My beloved put his hand ​​by the latch of the door, a​nd my heart yearned for him.

Q2: How often shall we take communion?
A2: Let my beloved come to his garden ​​and eat its pleasant fruits.

Q3: Is the primary reason for weekly covenant renewal the fact that our sin has put us out of fellowship with God?
A3: I said, “Have you seen the one I love?” Scarcely had I passed by them, when I found the one I love. I held him and would not let him go.

Q4: Shall we use grape juice and crackers?
A4: Eat, O friends! Drink, yes, drink deeply, O beloved ones!

Q5: If we are not providentially hindered, is it permissible to show up late or to be absent entirely?
A5: “I will rise now,” I said, “And go about the city; In the streets and in the squares I will seek the one I love.”

Q6: How is Jesus present in the supper?
A6: He is present in, with, and under his bride, who is his own body.

Q7: How shall we examine ourselves?
A7: My beloved is mine, and I am his.
