Communion with God’s Family
It’s interesting…Jesus never asked his disciples to remember His birth. But he did
instruct them to remember his death and resurrection.
WHAT IS THE LORD’S SUPPER? (1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
It is a simple act.
“The Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, took bread…” (vs. 23)
It is a reminder.
“…and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, ‘This is my body,
which is for you; eat it in remembrance of me.’” (vs. 24)
It is a symbol.
“In the same way, He took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my
blood; drink it to remember me.’” (vs. 25)
It is a statement of faith.
“For whenever you eat the bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s
death until He comes back.” (vs. 26)
WHO SHOULD TAKE THE LORD’S SUPPER?
Only those who are already believers in Jesus Christ. (Mark 14:22-26)
HOW DO I PREPARE MYSELF FOR THE LORD’S SUPPER?
“Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy
manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. A person
ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup.”
