The Mass Versus the Lord’s Supper

by Harry A. Ironside

Publisher:

Loizeaux Brothers

, 1926

Overview

This volume contains the text of a sermon delivered at the Moody Memorial Church in Chicago on June 27, 1926 at an evangelistic rally held one day after a Eucharistic Conference. In this sermon, Ironside discerns whether Christ’s body is physically present in the bread and wine of the Mass, and, if so, the implications for our understanding of Christ’s original sacrifice on the cross. He contends that Roman Catholic practices subvert the Gospel, and favors the simpler, Protestant method of celebrating the Lord’s Supper.

“Now to talk of any man on earth offering a continual sacrifice for the sins of the living and the dead is not only blasphemy against the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ, but it is absolute nonsense, for the Word of God says, ‘Without the shedding of blood is no remission of sins.’ It is worthless because being bloodless it has no value to atone for sin and because it isn’t needed to atone for sin for Jesus’ atonement has already been made.” (Pages 28–29)

“There was in the Babylon temples and on the altars an image of a woman with a child in her arms. This woman was said to be the Queen of Heaven.” (Page 24)

“No instructed Christian would approach the Lord’s Table to get forgiveness.” (Page 29)

“‘Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.’” (Page 5)

“Christ is present in His sweet and wonderful way, manifesting Himself to the hearts of His beloved people” (Page 19)

After a serving as a Salvation Army officer for a brief period, Ironside joined the Plymouth Brethren and started what would become a highly successful itinerant ministry of preaching and teaching.
