Read I
Corinthians 11:23-34
It causes us to
remember our Lord’s death and resurrection and to look for His glorious return
in the future.
Are you worthy to
sit with Jesus and have supper with him?
The Passover was
the most sacred feast of the Jewish religious year. It commemorated the final
plague on Egypt when the firstborn of the Egyptians died and the Israelites
were spared because of the blood of a lamb that was sprinkled on their
doorposts. The lamb was then roasted and eaten with unleavened bread. God’s
command was that throughout the generations to come the feast would be
celebrated. The story is recorded in Exodus
12.
If one partakes
of the Communion and yet still doing sin it is like the one holding the bag of 30
pieces of silver.
Judas Agrees
to Betray Jesus
Matthew 26: 14-15Then one of
the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, 15 And said unto them, What will ye give
me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty
pieces of silver
Jesus said unto the disciples that one of you
shall betray me.
Matthew 26:25 25 Then
Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto
him, Thou hast said.
in Verse 23.
Jesus in the same day was betrayed by some of the disciples
Who were they? Judas
& Peter
In Verse 24.
Before they eat the bread and drank the cup they prayed over it first. Very
important point in this verse is, this
do in remembrance of me
in Verse 25. Also, in the same matter he also took
the cup and said this is my blood of the
new testament to drink this to remember me.
Matthew
26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the
remission of sins. I John 2:2 And he is
the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole
world.
Propitiation: atonement, especially that of Jesus Christ.
Christ's
Sacrifice Once for All (The old law with the yearly sacrifices could not make
one perfect)
Hebrews
10:1- 1 For the law having a shadow of good things to
come, and not the very image of the things, can never with
those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers
thereunto perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered?
because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a
remembrance again made of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that
the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
**Jesus was a onetime
offering for sin
Hebrews 10:9-10 9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O
God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10 By the which will we are sanctified through
the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Jesus the onetime offering, not like the old law,
that was done yearly visiting the priest yearly to offer for their sins, would
never remove their sins, but the offering of the body of Christ it would remove
their sins and the Lord Jesus would remember them no more.
Romans 10:16-18 16 This is the covenant that
I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write
them;17 And
their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.18 Now
where remission of these is, there is no more offering for
sin.
The bible tells us that you will have a new mind supporting the
strength of Jesus Christ the perfect offering for sin, and keeping us in the
will of God.
Ephesians
4:23,24 And be renewed in the spirit of your
mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created
in righteousness and true holiness.
In Verse 27: If you partake of the Lord’s communion dishonestly,
knowing that you are weak and still continue to sin, after the matter of taking
the communion do not take the communion.
I
Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether
ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how
that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
Reprobates: : to
condemn strongly as unworthy, unacceptable, or evil
2: to
foreordain to damnation
3: to
refuse to accept : reject
In Verse 29 If anyone takes of the communion
unworthily he or she will receive damnation to themselves, not discerning the
Lord’s body.
Not discerning will have
an effect of learning to stay faithful and continue the path of righteousness,
in turn; you will become having a reprobate mind.
In Verse 30 “Many sleep” Means that some of the people
had died. The Lord’s Supper is not to be taken lightly; this new covenant cost Jesus
his life. It is not a meaningless ritual, but a sacrament given by Christ to
help strengthen our faith.
In Verse 31 If you would examine your Christian faith and determine rather
we are living up to the approved faith, not of ourselves, but in the Lord eyes,
Because we would discern our life by spiritual discernment that was giving to
us by Jesus Christ.
In Verse 32 If we ignore the warning’s of our careless and disobedient to
the word of God, then the Lord Jesus Christ will reprimand you to correct your wrong
path that is leading you away from the truth.
Jesus Christ corrects the one’s he loves.
Hebrews
12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth,
and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
Spare the rod you spoil the child (We are the Children of God)
Proverbs
13:24He that spareth his rod hateth his son:
but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
