Today we are reading 1 Corinthians 11. In this chapter we read about the sanctity of the Lord’s Supper. “For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.” 1 Corinthians 11:23-29 ESV How do these directives change the way you view this sacrament? How can you obey these words and teach others to do the same? Why do you think the Lord’s Supper is so important? May God bless you as you trust in His promises of the real presence of Jesus’ body and blood and forgiveness of sins in the Lord’s Supper. Pastor Tim
