TEXT: I Corinthians 11

Head coverings (11:1-16)

The Lord's Supper (11:17-34)

I'll skip head coverings...
In verses 27-30, Paul speaks of a circumstance in which the Corinthians were coming to the Lord's Supper remembrance without discerning the body. This body being the broken body of Christ for atonement of sin. It may have happened, as this passage alludes, that Christians were coming to supper without having eaten or drank...and doing so forgetting what they are doing (remembering Christ' shed blood and broken body.) But a broader application is that we as Christians should come to this remembrance as it is intend: TO REMEMBER. To remember what Christ did for us in dying. The alternative is eating and drinking judgement on oneself.
(29). Nevertheless, the circumstances around which Paul speaks to are interesting: divisions, cultural meals, discipline from the Lord...

How are you doing with your personal walk with God? Are you pursuing Him? Are you studying His Word to you?
