Episode 30: The benefits of The Sacrament of the Altar

Luther said that three points needed to be discussed when addressing the Sacrament of the Alter: What is it? What are its benefits? and, Who is to receive it? We asked “What is it?” in Episode 24 so we figured we should tackle “What are its benefits?” next, in obedience the good Dr. Luther. Lutherans have always insisted on the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist but maybe you’ve wondered, “So What?”. This is Trent and Levi’s best attempt to answer that in our usual confused, circular style.
