The Lord’s Supper

It Is Done to Remember Christ

1 Corinthians 11:24–25 ESV

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.”

1 Cor 11:24

1 Corinthians 11:24 ESV

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.”

We are expressing our Love for Jesus, for it is a way we can say to Jesus, we love you, we remember what you did for us

Illustration: On Sunday morning, December 7, 1941, 350 Japanese war planes bombed Pearl Harbor. 18 battle ships were sunk or destroyed. 200 airplanes were put out of commission. 3, 581 servicemen were either killed or wounded. Thus America’s war cry as she entered World War II was this motto: “Remember Pearl Harbor”. At the Lord’s table today, we too have a battle cry and it is: “Remember Jesus Christ.”

We are to remember the high cost of our salvation. Wherein it free to you and I, it cost Jesus dearly, his body and his blood. He paid it all with his very life.

It Is Done with Self Examination

1 Corinthians 11:27–29 ESV

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 Cor 11:27-

We look inwardly

We look honestly

We reconcile with others

We repent from Sin
