Welcome

L ooking at the ord’s Supper

Acts 20: 7 “And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.” Lord's Supper - 1 Cor. 11:20 Breaking Bread - Acts 20:7, Acts 2:42 Communion - I Cor. 10: 16 It is never called: Eucharist Mass Sacrament Unleavened Bread Fruit of the Vine – Cup The Word “wine” is never used in reference to the Lord’s Supper

AT The Look Backward Lord’s Supper “this do in remembrance of me.” 1 Cor.11:24-25 “anamnesis” = recollection, remind, call to mind “Amnesia” = memory is lost We build Memorials to help us remember

Lord’s Supper is a memorial Type of the Passover Feast Deliverance from Egypt Blood on two side posts and upper post Feast of unleavened bread Examples Acts 2:42 – Jerusalem Acts 20:7 - Troas 1 Cor. 11:20-34 - Corinth

Lord’s Supper is a memorial Look Backward AT The Lord’s Supper Lord’s Supper is a memorial Jesus knew His body would not remain in tomb Could have built some great monument

AT The Look Forward Lord’s Supper “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death TILL HE COME.” 1 Cor. 11:26 “…this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” Acts 1:11b Proclaim Partaking the Lord’s Supper reminds us of the next coming of Jesus.

AT The Look Within Lord’s Supper 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.” 1 Cor. 11:28-29 Unworthy – adjective – describing man Unworthily – adverb – describing manner of taking Baptism is more than getting wet Lord’s Supper is more than bread and fruit of the vine

As you partake of the communion… Go to the Upper Room “This is my body” “This is my blood” Go to the Garden “My soul is exceeding sorrowful” “Father, if it be possible let this cup pass from me” Remember Judas who betrayed with a kiss

As you partake of the communion… The Soldiers Strip Jesus’ clothes from him Put a purple robe on him Platted a crown of sharp thorns See the People Come up and spit upon him Then they laughed at him Put a reed in his hand

7. “Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.” 1 Cor. 5:7-8 Eating unleavened bread – represented righteousness Keeping our lives clean “For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep” 1 Cor. 11:30
