The Lord's Supper

The institution of the Lord's Supper or Communion must be regarded by every spiritual and godly man as touching proof of the Lord's gracious care and considerate love for His Church. From the time of it's establishment until the present day, it has been a steady, though silent witness to a truth which the enemy, by every means in his power has sought to corrupt and set aside, namely that redemption is an accomplished fact to be enjoyed by every believer in Jesus Christ. We should bless the Lord and praise His name for His gracious consideration of our need in having established such a memorial of His dying love, and also in having spread a table at which all His members might present themselves, without any other condition than the indispensable one of personal connection with and obedience to Him. Our blessed Master knew our tendency of our hearts to slip away from Him, and from each other, and to meet this tendency was one at least of His objects in the institution of the Lord's Supper. He would gather His people around His own blessed person. He would spread a table for them, where, in view of His broken body and shed blood, they might remember Him and the intensity of His love for them and also look forward into the future and contemplate the glory of which the cross is the everlasting foundation.

1 Corinthians 11:23-26 " For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which He was betrayed, took bread, and when He had given thanks He broke it and said, take eat; this in my body which is broken for you, This do in remembrance of Me.

Revelations 3:20 "Behold I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into him and dine with him and he with me."
