The Lord’s Supper is:
1. A memorial: Jesus said, “This do in remembrance of Me.” It honors Him as the Son of the Living God. It is the only thing He ever asked of anyone to be done in His memory. How often do you observe it, dear friend?
2. It calls for inward examination: “Let a man examine himself and so let him eat.” The examination determines whether or not the participant truly discerns the Lord’s body. When you eat the supper, do you realize that the bread is (by faith) His body, given for your sins? Do you discern that the fruit of the vine is (by faith) His blood shed for the remission of your sins?
3. It is an outward proclamation: “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord’s death till he come.”
4. It is obedience to Jesus: “... do this in remembrance of Me...” “And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” (Luke 6:46). Jesus said, “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments” (John 14:15). How often do you love the Lord in obeying this command?
5. It is fellowship: “The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a communion of the body of Christ??
6. It is a continual privilege: On the birthday of the church, those who were added to the church “continued steadfastly in breaking of bread and prayers” (Acts 2:42). How regularly do you break this sacred bread with Christians?
7. It anticipates His return: “Till He comes ...” How many who claim to be members of His spiritual body will have neglected this sacred privilege — even at the time He returns? Will you be ready?
The Lord’s Supper is prepared and spread each Lord’s Day here at this congregation. All who are members of the family of God are invited to participate. Of those who read this, how many will decline the invitation?
