“For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.”
1 Corinthians 11:29 KJV
Paul explains that anyone who partakes of this meal in an indifferent manner, either because of religious sentiment or merely being blasé about the meaning of the meal, eats and drinks judgment upon themselves! The human body of Jesus represents the judgment of every single human life; to fail to acknowledge this, is to deliberately exclude yourself from the blessing of the New Covenant. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. No one can afford to underestimate what happened to us on the Cross! To discern the Lord’s body is to grasp what God’s faith saw when Jesus died! May we passionately love the Lord Jesus when we partake of this meal remembering His death out of love for each and every one of us! Worthy is the Lamb!
