The Lord's Supper

Well for most of my frequent readers you would realise that this is the second time a post on The Lord's Supper will be done.
As most of us Christians know, the Lord's supper is where we partake of the body of Christ in remembrance of him . We drink wine which represents his blood and eat bread which represents his body.
In 1 Corinthians 11 the Bible tells us in detail about the Lord's Supper.
1 Corinthians 11:24 states "Take, eat; this is my body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of me." It goes on to verse 25 that says "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me". This means as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till he comes. We chose the narrow way which comes with many persecution and attacks from the enemy to achieve our ultimate goal which is to enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Verses 27-29 states that whoever drinks of this cup and eats of this bread in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord and as a result eats and drinks judgement to himself, not discerning the Lord's Body. Therefore you should examine yourself and repent of your sins both known and unknown, big or small; after which you can partake of the supper.
Often times we as believers take the Lord's supper in an unworthy manner, we carry the burden of unforgiven sins and unclean and impure vessels. The word of God says in verse 30 of the above text "For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.

We as Christians MUST ensure that we are clean, pure and holy before the lord, because God is holy and we are striving to be like him, we too must be holy. Therefore if we are to partake of his body and blood we must be like him and go through everything he went through. We cannot serve the Lord and serve him half way we MUST go all out for him. Become Sold out for Jesus.

Leviticus 19 vs 2 says " Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them: 'You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am Holy"

Romans 12 vs 1-2 States "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
And do not be conformed of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God".

Therefore my loyal readers it is important to God for us be holy,pure and clean vessels because if we are unclean he will not use us neither will he work through us. So lets face the facts if we cannot take the Lord's supper we cannot go to Heaven because they both require us to be holy,pure and clean vessels. The fact of the matter is Jesus can appear anytime at any time jesus can return are you ready will you be ready ................................
