THE LORD'S SUPPER

Golden Text: For as often as ye eat
this bread, and drink this cup,
ye do show the Lord’s death till
he come.
The Lesson Aim
The purpose ot mis lesson is to
discover a. a Know tne origin anu
purpose or tne mud's feupper ana its
sigmncance to tne Chnsuan.
first, tne luiu> Bup^ei is a sym
bol as is explained oy me Boro nim-
seif. r.ac.i aim all wno partaae oi tne

tion ot me Born s Supper: (i) me
origin; (ZJ its onginui meaning; and
(3y % tne early aouses that became ai-
lucned to its oosei vance. ns to tne
origin of the Bora s bupper, it was
untier tne shadow oi tne cross anu on
the very mgnt of Cnrist s betrayal
that it was instigated. Jesus rusned
belore his departure trom this world
to put into one act that would be sig
nificant of tne sacrifice that he was
about to make, it would have been
easy for the disciples to forget tne
meaning of the death unless there
was leu behind a constant reminder,
bo when we partake of the emblems
of his broken body and shed blood we
acknowledge his sacrifice and death.
on this memorable night Jesus
took the cup and the bread and made
them symbols of his own body and
blood, me two when- taken logetner
symioolize the atoning death ol jesus
'Ine correct approacn to the Lord's
Supper is by way ot the cross, the
purpose of the sacrament was to re
main xorever as a memorial to the
death ot Jesus. Every time the de-
seipies partooK oi tne cup and of
tne oreau they would be remembering
tne death ot their Lord, mere is not
a more sigi.ihcunt oruinance in all
the Bible than tnat ot the Lord s
Supper. It is signihcant of what has
been done for us tnat wehave become
heirs of life eternal. Many times we
are prone not to grasp tne lull sig-
nincance ot the Lord s Supper. How
humbly and how reverently we should
partake of the emblems of a cruci
fied Saviour. On Calvary was paid
the greatest price that was ever
paid tor anything and gave to man
bis inheritance of eternal life thru
him. ln view of these facts how
could we in any other way show our
appreciation of the gift than partak
ing of the emblems that represent
the price which was paid for our re
demption ? There is no virtue in the
cup nor the bread within themselves
but what they stand for is their value
and the use to which they are put to
To see in the emblems of the Lord’s
Supper only the broken body and
shed blood for which they stand and
too in the cross only the agony and
death of the Son of God, is not to see
all that Jesus saw in them. Jesus
took each of the emblems and
blessed ihem and gave thanks. Out
of what Jesus was about to face was
to come the greatest gift that could
possibly come to us, that of victory.
Beyond the cross and back of it was
the eternal love of the Father. With
out these the approaching death
would mean no more than the death
of any other man. But by His death
the love of God would be forever
known unless his desciples should
forget. But in the instituting of the
Lord’s Supper as a memorial he gave
to the desciples ar.d to the World
something that would ever be a re
minder of the agony of the cross and
the great prize he left for us by the
cross. It is strange to us that such a
state of affairs as Paul described
should ever have taken place. He
tells us that the Christians had made
of it a glutonous feast, and thereby
losing the significance of the ordi
nance as a memorial Paul made it
perfectly clear that such a way of

nounced thut the sacrement of the
Lord’s Supper will be observed. Dur
ing the change ot scenes we might
say, some of the congregation will
take their departure. Very little
thought has been giveJi to this part
ot the service and it is likely to be
unusually prolonged or gone through
hurriedly and the service er.ds with
a feelipg that something was lacking
or not just right. Would it not be
much better to set some hour for
the purpose of administering this or
dinance? Surely an ordinance that
stands for the most important doc
trine of one’s faith should have more
attention in our Christian program.
The Meaning of the Lord’s .Supper
The Lord's Supper was instituted
by Jesus ar.d practiced by the early
chuch. It has been widely misunder
stood It is a trust that has been
given to us to guard and keep and
should be faithfully kept. Think of all
it embodies. The Lord’s Supper is a
memorial of Jesus. It sets forth his
incarnation from the earthly exis
tence. His purpose for death was for
what? Was it that he might die as
all men die? Far from that. It was
for the remission ot your ar.d my
sins, whc'ii we partake of tne em
blems oi ms broaen body and sued
blood we express to tne world that
we have made use of the benents ot
Christ's sucritice.
i’rophecy
The Lord’s Supper predicts the
coming ol the King eternal in all nis
glory, “'till he come’’ ln the ordi
nance not only does it reveal past
sacrifices but sets forth future glory.
The Ordinance Instituted
The first Lord's Supper was in
stituted! by the Lord 1 himself in the
City of Jeiusalem in an upper room
on the mgnt before the tragedy on
Calvary wnen lie ushered it in he
then intrusted it to the churches as
has been vividly portrayed by l’aul in
his directions lor its ooservunce.
What Is a C.iureh Ordinance?
A church ordinance is r.o more nor
less than outward rites that Christ
appointed to be administered in his
church. A visible sign of the power
of the Gospel.
Instituted by Christ
The Lord’s Supper was instituted
by Christ and thoroughly explained
by Him. He delivered it in all sim
plicity so that it might be observed
wthout difficulty and expense by all
the churches in all the world
throughout the ages. There are two
parts of the ordinance. One is a bene
diction and a thanksgiving intro
duced by prayer The symbols were
made perfectly clear. The bread rep
resented his crucifiied body and the
wine his covenant blo#d. Jesus gave
of each element to the desciples and
told them to take of it and they all
ate of the bread and drunk of the
wine. Thus was established a memo
rial to him till he returns -and sets up
a new feast ini the heavenly kingdom.
Transmitted to the Uhurc.nes
The Lord’s Supper was transmitted
to the churches with a cleat and un
mistakable interpretation' of just
what it meant. This solemn ordinance
was received direct from the Lord
and given in direct keeping of the
church. So we see that it is divine in
origin and is a church ordinance in
observance. First, he took the loaf
and gave thanks. He broke it His
interpretation., “This is my body."
and applied it given “for you”. He
commanded it. “This do in remem
brance of me.” He gave it to them
and they all partook of it. Ar.d then
did likewise with the cup. He then
enjoined a perpetual observance ol
the ordinance by the churches till
Christ comes again victorious over
all.
The Golden Text
“For as olten as ye eat this bread
and drink the cup ye proclaim the
Lord’s death till he come ” The
Lord’s Supper points to the past, to
the redeeming Christ und the em
blems are reminders of bis atoning
death. It points forward to the reign
ing Christ. So it is obedience to him
that we partake of the Lord’s Supper
It also points to the returning Christ
and will not be fulfilled till he comes
again in all his power and majesty.
It develops, therefore, it is demanded
from a cultural standpoint. There is
but one explanation regarding those
who disregard and turn their back
upon the lord’s Bupper and that is
that they are spiritually ailing. On
the other hand those who partake of
the emblems truly find. if.' them
strength for their work whatever it
may be and training for tlieif eiftirac-
ter. The very ihristian happfneSR'de
mand a partaking. There is 40 it a de
light for a duty performed. .Therefore
our complete Christian happiness de
mand it • •
Fellowship
Fellowship demands it. It makes
one of all Christian people. The per
forming of and carrying out the or
dinance is intrusted to the church
and not to the individual. Therefore
the felowship of the association
around the lord’s table while not the
most important thing, hut is vital to
a complete performing of the ordi
nance. There is r.otthing that will
weld into a unity of the Christian
brotherhood than the fellowship
around the Lord’s table.
Usefulness of the Individual
The Lord’s Supper is a testimony.
Therefore to impart our complete
usefulness it demands partaking of
the ordinance. This ordinance and
partaking of same speaks louder for
an individual than any word that can
be spoke-i or written. It goes further
than any personal influence Testi-

Hope
Finally it anticipates the coming
again of the laird in all His glory
and majesty, so hope demands it. If
we take a view down the vista of
time there floods in upon our minds
these words, ‘Till he come." Every
Lord’s table that was in an assembly
of Christian people points onward and
upward to that greater banquet that
is to be held in the heavenly king
dom. So each ar.d every time we par
take of the Lord’s Supper it should
give us a glimpse of the eternity
ahead where there will always be a
brotherhood with God and his holy
angels.
