As we observe the Lord’s supper, we are following in ancient footsteps.
And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. (Acts 2:42)
But this sacred time can be confusing to new (and old) believers in Jesus. What should I be doing during the Lord’s supper?
- I should be participating (1 Cor 10:14-22)
- I should be communing with my ransomed brothers and sisters (1 Cor 11:33-34)
- We should be giving thanks (1 Cor 11:23-24)
- I should be remembering (1 Cor 11:25)
- I should be examining myself (1 Cor 11:27-28)
- I should be reflecting (1 Cor 11:29-32)
- I should be proclaiming my Lord’s death (1 Cor 11:26a)
- I should be anticipating our Lord’s return (1 Cor 11:26b)
And thus that dark betrayal night with the last advent we unite, by one bright chain of loving rite, until he come. (George Rawson, 1857)
