… Finally, question 77. Where does Christ promise to nourish and refresh believers with his body and blood as surely as they eat this broken bread and drink this cup? Answer, in the institution of the Lord's Supper, the Lord Jesus, on the night when he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, Take, eat, this is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of me. In the same way, he also took the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this as often as you drink it in remembrance of me. For as often you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. This promise is repeated by Paul in these words. The cup of blessing that we bless is not the participation in the blood of Christ. The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread who we are many, who we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread. …
do this whenever you drink it in remembrance of Me. For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.

A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself. That is why many among you are weak and sick. and a number of you have fallen asleep. But if we judged ourselves, we would not come under judgment. When we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world. God, we pray that You would open our eyes to understand Your Word this morning. In particular, the meaning of the Lord's Supper. God, we pray that Your Spirit would help us to grasp the significance of communion and to see how it affects the way we worship you. …
… Oh, I came prepared for you. 1 Corinthians chapter 11, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner actually eats and drinks judgment to himself. And this is in every manuscript, by the way. So I'm going to be like, oh, this is one of those ones. No. Eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this reason, he's telling the church of Corinth, many are weak among you and sick and many sleep. That's code for dead. Only Christians are called sleeping when they die. for if we would judge ourselves, we would not have to be judged. You should never take communion without first pausing and confessing any sin unrepented of in your heart, because to eat and drink these elements, you could get sick or die or just be weak as a result, because you're being trivial or flippant about something so serious and not being introspective and relationally seeking harmony with your father, who's already forgiven you, but wants to restore you relationally to him. …
… Do it in remembrance of me. For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. Verse 27, so then whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sin against the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person therefore examine himself before he partakes of this moment. In this way, let him eat the bread, eat the bread and drink the cup.
