THE LORD'S SUPPER OR HOLY COMMUNION

Gods blessings shall follow you, for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: THE LORD'S SUPPER OR HOLY COMMUNION 

TEXT: LUKE 22:17-20 

SUNDAY AUGUST 13TH

Key verse: 1 Corinthians 11: 26 “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till He come.”  
The Lord Jesus Christ instituted the Lord's super and commanded that His disciples should keep on observing it until He returns. The bread represents His body that was offered on the cross for the salvation of humanity. The cup represents His blood that was shed for the forgiveness of sins of all who believe on Him. The early church observed the Lord's supper daily as their meeting was daily. Later we saw that in the church at Ephesus the Lord's super was observed weekly, in the first day of the week when the brethren assembled for worship. In first Corinthians, Paul wrote of the revelation Jesus gave to him directly on the observance of the Lord's Supper: 
(1) Jesus celebrated it with His disciples. (II) Every believer should partake of it. (III)  The purpose is to remind us of the sacrificial death of Christ. (IV)  The body of Christ, the local church, should observe his rite often. (V) The often observance of this rite announces the sacrificial death of Jesus to all in the assembly. (VI) The Lord's Supper should be observed continually until He comes. (VII) Sinners and backsliders are not to partake in the Lord's Supper. (VIII) Self-examination is required of those who desire to partake of this rite. They must have right standing with God. (IX) Those who eat the Lord's Supper in sin will suffer   divine judgment. 
Although the time interval between one observance and the other is not fixed in Paul's letter to the Corinthians, the ceremony is to be observed often, regularly, frequently. Those Assemblies that do not observe the Lord's Supper at all or do so once in a long while have not submitted themselves to this clear scriptural instruction. Believers who live their Christian life without partaking of the Lord's Supper along with other members of the body of Christ are not totally submissive to the word of God. There is consequence on both the local church and the individual believer who disobeys this scriptural injunction. 

Thought for the day: Every believer should partake regularly in the Lord's Supper. 

Song for the day: The old rugged cross

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 96-98; Romans 12

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
