Scripture Union Daily Guide 28th August 2023 OUTLINE:
In the early church, believers often had love feast before the communion proper. This was meant to enhance relationship across families, ages, and social strata. Whenever we come to the Lord’s table, we should seek to worship God and promote harmony, love, and reverence. Notice what the church in Corinth was doing instead in vs.18-22.
The Lord’s Supper was instituted to commemorate Christ’s death on the cross and look forward to His return hence the key elements of Holy Communion viz. bread which represents Christ’s broken body for the lost world and wine, His blood shed for us all (vs.25-26).
Unworthy eating on the Lord’s Supper amounts to eating while still living in unrepented sin or in a way that dishonours God. Approaching the Lord’s table carelessly has dire consequences (see vs.29-30). How should we then approach the Lord’s table to obtain God’s blessing and not incur his judgment (vs.28,31-34)?
