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

12. 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.

13. 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

14. 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

15. 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

16. 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.” 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
