The Sacred Has Become Common (11:17-22)
The Simplification of the Custom (11:23-26)
The Solemn Concern to Partake in a Worthy Manner (11:27-34)
Third, we should look within (vv.
27–28, 31–32).
Paul did not say that we had to be worthy to partake of the Supper, but only that we should partake in a worthy manner.
At a Communion service in Scotland, the pastor noted that a woman in the congregation did not accept the bread and cup from the elder, but instead sat weeping.
The pastor left the table and went to her side and said, “Take it, my dear, it’s for sinners!”
And, indeed, it is; but sinners saved by God’s grace must not treat the Supper in a sinful manner.
If we are to participate in a worthy manner, we must examine our own hearts, judge our sins, and confess them to the Lord.
To come to the table with unconfessed sin in our lives is to be guilty of Christ’s body and blood, for it was sin that nailed Him to the cross.
If we will not judge our own sins, then God will judge us and chasten us until we do confess and forsake our sins.
The Corinthians neglected to examine themselves, but they were experts at examining everybody else.
When the church gathers together, we must be careful not to become “religious detectives” who watch others, but who fail to acknowledge our own sins.
If we eat and drink in an unworthy manner, we eat and drink judgment (chastening) to ourselves, and that is nothing to take lightly.
