The Purpose of

Communion

Remembrance

I Cor. 11: 25 “do this in remembrance

of Me."

1Co 11:26 For "as often as you eat this bread and

drink this cup, you show" the Lord's death until He shall

come.

1Co 11:27 So that whoever shall eat this

bread and drink this cup

of the Lord unworthily, he will be guilty of the body

and blood of the Lord.

Warning

1Co 11:29 For he who

eats and drinks unworthily eats

and drinks condemnation to

himself, not discerning the

Lord's body. 30 For this cause

many among you are weak and

sickly, and many sleep.

1Co 11:28 But let a man examine

himself, and so let him eat of

that bread and drink of that

cup.

Examination

Psa 139:23 Search me, O

God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts, 24 and see if any wicked

way is in me; and lead me in

the way everlasting.

The Means of Examination

1Co 11:31 For if we would

judge ourselves, we would not be

judged.

Result of Examination

No judgment

Fellowship In The Light

 I Jn. 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light, as He is

in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son

cleanses us from “all” sin.

The Two Extremes

Light

Darkness

God Is Light

Light Penetrates Darkness

Light Exposes things In The Darkness

Evil Thoughts

Revenge

LustPro 24:8 He who

plots to do evil shall be called a master of

wicked thoughts. Sowing Discord

Sinful deeds and Attitudes

To walk in darkness is to be blind

There are two kinds of

blindness:

1. Willful

Gen 4:7 If you do well, shall

you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin crouches at

the door;

Jam 4:17 Therefore

to him who knows to do good, and does

not do it, to him it is

sin.

2. Ignorant

Pro 24:12 If you say, Behold, we did not know;

does not He who searches the

heart consider it?

The walk in the light is

blessing. It is Where God is. It is His very

nature.

God is love. God is Spirit. God is

a consuming fire. God is

Light

Communion Takes Us Back To This

And Looking forward to this

I Pet. 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an

holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the

praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his

marvelous light:

The Provisional “If we walk in light”

Our Freedom and Means To Fellowship

The Light Robs Satan Of All His Power

The Promise

I Jn. 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son

cleanses us from “all” sin.
