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

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
