Brethren, The Lord’s Supper is an important reminder to us...
…of the means through which this deeper healing has come.
Matthew wrote:
Matthew 26:26–28 (ESV)
26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”
27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you,
28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
It is ONLY through the Substitutionary Atonement of Christ on the Cross...
…that we can JUSTLY be:
Forgiven
Reconciled to God.
That is why Paul’s warning in 1 Corinthians 11 is so important.
He wrote:
1 Corinthians 11:26 (ESV)
26...as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
You proclaim that substitutionary atonement
You teach through visible symbolism...
…The only means of forgiveness from your sin.
That’s why he says:
27 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.
To corrupt the memorial...
…is to corrupt its picture of the gospel!
That’s immensely dangerous.
So Paul instructs us:
1 Corinthians 11:28–29 (ESV)
28 Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.
Ask someone to pray that we might be empowered to properly discern the body:
Individually/Corporately
Go down.
19 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you,
28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
