Luke 7:8

 1) He issues commands (in a variety of forms).  2) He provides examples—both of individuals and churches.  3) He teaches by implication, meaning that He indicates what we should believe or practice without expressly saying it (requires inferences on our part).

 Why do we observe the Lord’s Supper? ◦ Command—1 Cor. 11:24: “Do this in remembrance of Me.”  Why do we observe it on the first day of the week? ◦ Example—Acts 20:7: “Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to bread bread…”  Why do we use unleavened bread? ◦ Implication—only unleavened bread was used during the Passover. ◦ Frequency is also taught by implication.
