Self-examination critical for Christians. Three views of man. – The way he sees himself – The way others see him – The way God sees him Obviously, the accurate one is the way God sees him Until man sees himself the way God does he will always be deceived and self-deception is the most difficult illusion to understand. LOOKING IN THE MIRROR Jas 1:21-25

SELF-EXAMINATION A PROBLEM – For Christians just as much as those in the world – Paul indicts the Corinthians as being contentious, carnal and immoral 1Cor 1:11; 3:3; 5:1 – Told to examine themselves 2Cor 13:5 (ESV “test yourselves” determine if genuine (note Jhn 8:31) 1Cor 9:27 – We must look into the mirror of God’s word to see what kind of person we are 2Sam 12:1-15 LOOKING IN THE MIRROR Jas 1:21-25

CHARACTERISTICS OF SELF-EXAMINATION – Personal Ezek 18:20; Rom 14:12 – By right standard Prov 14:12; 2Cor 10:12; Jhn 12:48 – Thorough Eccl 12:14 – Honest Num 32:23; Prov 28:13 – Continuous 1Cor 9:27; Jas 1:25; 1Jhn 1:7 LOOKING IN THE MIRROR Jas 1:21-25

SELF-EXAMINATION IN LORD’S SUPPER – Each Lord’s day we look in the mirror 1Cor 11:28; 1Cor 1:2 – What is the purpose of this self-examination – This examination has to do with the “manner” or the way in which they observed this memorial Not “am I worthy” to partake “Unworthily” = Thayer: 1) in an unworthy manner LOOKING IN THE MIRROR Jas 1:21-25

SELF-EXAMINATION IN LORD’S SUPPER – What do we do when we observe the Lord’s Supper Remember 1Cor 11:24,25 Dedicate ourselves (covenant) 1Cor 11:25 Proclaim 1Cor 11:26 Anticipate 1Cor 11:26 Have fellowship 1Cor 10:16,17 LOOKING IN THE MIRROR Jas 1:21-25

SELF-EXAMINATION IN LORD’S SUPPER – “SO” let him eat 1Cor 11:28 “So” (Strong’s: adverb; in this way (referring to what precedes or follows):--after that, after (in) this manner, as, even (so) Eat the Lord’s Supper in a manner that reflects the principles just described Done improperly guilty of the body and blood of Jesus 1Cor 11:27 – Not discerning the Lord’s body 1Cor 11:29 Discerning = Thayer Definition: 1) to separate, make a distinction, discriminate, to prefer The idea here seems to emphasize the distinction between this spiritual feast and a common meal to satisfy hunger LOOKING IN THE MIRROR Jas 1:21-25

Unworthy manner results in damnation This examination has more to do with making sure we have a humble and contrite spirit and recognize the great sacrifice provided for us in the gift of God’s Son Psa 51:17 The humblest and most obscure Christian with the feeblest faith and love may regard this feast as designed to set forth the death of his Redeemer and observing it properly can meet with Divine approval LOOKING IN THE MIRROR Jas 1:21-25
