The Lord’s Supper Is For You

1 Corinthians 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

Necessity of Fellowship

At its core, this passage underscores the importance of fellowship among believers. The act of eating and drinking together is more than a mere ritual; it embodies the shared faith and the fellowship that is essential for spiritual growth.

Elements of the Lord’s Supper

• The Bread represents Christ’s body, broken for you.
• The Cup represents the New Testament in His blood, shed for the forgiveness of sins.
• Showing, it is a declaration of a historical event. By partaking in the elements, believers identify themselves with Christ’s sacrificial death and affirm the reality of that death.

“Til He Come”

• The phrase points to the eschatological hope of Christ’s return—when he sits on the throne of his father David.

Summary

In essence, fellowship in the Christian faith through the ordinance of the Lord’s supper is absolutely necessary. It serves not only as an ordinance of remembrance but also as a means of fostering good fellowship and spiritual anticipation of Christ’s eminent return. 

Are you in good fellowship with the brethren? When is the last time you had the Lord’s supper?
