Col 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
For the Christian baptism is symbolic of burial with Christ, which is the reason for full immersion, the baptism taught in the Bible, and coming up out of the water is symbolic of being raised from the dead to a new and eternal life.
Secondly...
1 Cor 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
1 Cor 11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
1 Cor 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come.
According to Scripture the Lord's supper is a symbolic reminder, a memorial of the death of Christ. Keep in mind I am not refering to what is commonly called the Eucharist, that is not the same thing and to be honest is not Biblical, no offense to those who think it is.
