1. The significance of the Lord’s Supper:
  1. ) The command to observe the Lord’s Supper comes from Jesus Himself (1 Corinthians 11:23-25).
  2. ) The bread represents Jesus’ body, which was broken when He died for us on the cross (1 Corinthians 11:23-24).
  3. ) The cup represents Jesus’ blood, which was shed for the forgiveness of our sins (1 Corinthians 11:25).
2. The seriousness of the Lord’s Supper:
 
Judgment from the Lord results from inappropriate participation in the Lord’s Supper (1 Corinthians 11:29-30).
 
Our response to the truth of the word of God:
 
Examine yourself in relation to Jesus’ death (1 Corinthians 11:28, 31).
