SUMMARIES ON THE LORD'S SUPPER
February 27, 2009
1 Corinthians 11:26 implies that the body and blood (bread and cup) proclaim the Lord’s death. The full meaning of the bread involves dying to self (cross) and living for God (resurrection). The full meaning of the cup involves being delivered from death (cross) into life (resurrection). Thus we have the death and resurrection seen in each element of the Lord’s Supper.
The cross and the Holy Spirit
February 27, 2009
When we present the Lord’s Supper with understanding, the Holy Spirit will brood over the truths of the cross being proclaimed. The Holy Spirit is convicting us of our sin. He is pointing out the truths of the cross. He is applying pressure on us to confess our sins and take them to the cross (by faith apply the truths of the cross to a particular sin or death problem).
Deliverance into godliness and life
February 27, 2009
The great rewards and goals of the Gospel are life and godliness. Let us relate these two themes to the Lord’s Supper and the cross. Jesus delivered us from sin so that we can be godly. Godliness is the goal of the bread. Also, Jesus experienced death for us so that we can experience life. Life is the goal of the cup.
The taste of the Bread and the taste of the Cup
February 27, 2009
The cup of the Lord’s Supper is a delicious drink. It is called in Scripture, "the cup of blessing." Whether it is wine or grape juice, this drink is physically pleasing to sip. This fact is not accidental. This delightful drink, this cup of blessing, stands for a delightful message: He suffered death for me that I might have life.
Understanding the CUP of the Lord's Supper
February 27, 2009
Most Bible believing Christians understand that the cup of the Lord’s Supper stands for the blood of Jesus shed for the forgiveness of our sins. What relief and peace we have in understanding that our sins are forgiven. Apart from Christ, we stand guilty and deserve to pay the penalty for our sins; we deserve to go to hell, a place of eternal punishment.
Understanding the Bread of the Lord's Supper
February 27, 2009
Scripture tells us that Jesus bore our sins in His BODY (bread) on the cross so that we (1) have been set free from sin, (2) can live for righteousness. This, in a nutshell, is the meaning of the bread of the Lord’s Supper. Now, there are other meanings to the bread, but the above is the fundamental and primary meaning.
Understanding the unique meaning of the Bread and of the Cup
February 27, 2009
The bread and cup of the Lord’s Supper are clearly the two most ingenious symbols the world has ever known. These two symbols have unique, definite meanings that literally summarise the entire Christian life.
DELIVERANCE FROM SIN AND DEATH
February 27, 2009
After Adam and Eve sinned, God looked down from heaven at man’s condition and saw two things that He did not like. He saw man doing stupid things on the earth, i.e., sin. And, He saw the horrible consequences man suffered and will suffer because of his sin, i.e., death. Sin and death are equally repulsive in God’s sight. Then God sent His Son to die for man ....
The bread of affliction
February 27, 2009
The unleavened bread is called the bread of affliction in the Old Testament. This is the very bread that Jesus had in His hands when He said, "This is My body which is given for you ...."(Luke 22:19) It was called the bread of affliction because the Hebrews came out of Egypt in haste.
Is it manna or unleavened Bread?
February 27, 2009
I want to point out the difference between the manna which the Bread of Life message is based on, and the unleavened bread which is the basis for the bread of the Lord’s Supper. Not only are these two different kinds of bread, but they stand for two different aspects of the Christian experience.Let us look at some scriptures that link the Bread of Life message of the N.T.
