We need to understand we come together on the first day of
the week to worship God. We gather to partake of the Lords Supper. We are here
for that reason. Not for ourselves. Although I have not heard of the atrocities
that we see in Corinth concerning the Lord Supper take place today, others are being committed that are just
as bad. Don’t forget that. You want to have a strong
faith, pure religion and are growing
in Christ take remembering the Lord seriously. Take God and His word seriously.
Your soul depends on it.
“ Therefore when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the
Lord’s Supper. For in eating, each one
takes his own supper ahead of others; and
one is hungry and another is drunk. What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and
shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in
this? I do not praise you. For I received from the Lord that which I also
delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and
said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken
for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the
new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of
Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the
Lord’s death till He comes. Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this
cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of
the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and
drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and
drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and
many sleep.” 1 Corinthians 11:20-30 NKJV
