1 Corinthians 11
23 For I pass on to you what I received from the Lord himself. On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread 24 and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and said, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me.” 25 In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this to remember me as often as you drink it.” 26 For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord’s death until he comes again.
Each Lord’s Day when we celebrate the Lord’s Supper, we proclaim the Gospel of Christ. Yes, the act of eating the bread and drinking the cup proclaims the death, burial, resurrection and second coming of our Lord Jesus. Paul tells us that we are to partake of the Supper to remember Jesus. I am so grateful to be part of a church that follows the faith and practices of the 1st Century Church. As a corporate body, we proclaim the Gospel every Sunday morning by celebrating the Lord’s Supper. May Jesus be glorified throughout the week by the way we live. He alone is worthy!
