Today we are reading 1 Corinthians 11. In this chapter we read about 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. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.”
1 Corinthians 11:23-30 ESV It is very important to celebrate Communion in a way that is pleasing to God. In Corinth, they had lost the importance and meaning of this sacred meal. This chapter corrects their understanding and guides ours. This gift is a beautiful blessing for we Christians to share together. May God impress on you the great value of this gift. Pastor Tim
