Do This in Remembrance of Me

 





If you are truly saved and in right standing with the Lord, then it is good to partake of the Lord's Supper, also known as Christian Communion, or Christian Passover. God's Word tells us to examine ourselves first so that we do not partake of the Lord's body and blood unworthily. You eat and drink damnation to yourself if you partake unworthily. We must repent of our sins before partaking in communion.

When we partake of Christian communion, we are remembering the Lord's great sacrifice upon the cross for our sins, to bring salvation to the fallen race of man. We remember his body that was broken for us, as well as his blood that was shed. Because of his sacrifice, we have eternal life and have become sons of the living God. There is no salvation apart from the cross of Christ and his finished work.

(1 Cor 11:23) For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: 24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the New Testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. 27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
