Now turn to the right. We see Luke in the book of Acts 2, verse 42, tell us that they devoted themselves to the breaking of bread. Keep going to the right and you're going to come to 1 Corinthians 11. Now I want you to turn to me to 1 Corinthians 11 and I want you to see what Paul has to say to believers in the early church concerning the Lord's Supper. 1 Corinthians 11. We'll pick up in verse 23. We'll look at some of the context around it in just a second. But verse 23 says, For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you. The Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, This is My body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of Me. In the same way, after supper, He took the cup, saying, This cup is the new covenant in My blood. do this whenever you drink it in remembrance of Me. …

"And when the hour was come, He sat down, and the twelve Apostles with Him." Luke 22:14. THE outward ordinances of the Christian religion are but two—and those two are exceedingly simple—yet neither of them has escaped human alteration. And, alas, much mischief has been worked and much of precious teaching has been sacrificed by these miserable perversions! For instance, the ordinance of Baptism, as it was administered by the Apostles, represented the burial of the Believer with Christ and his rising with his Lord into newness of life. Men had to exchange immersion for sprinkling and the intelligent Believer for an unconscious child—and so the ordinance is slain! The other sacred institution, the Lord's Supper, like Believers' Baptism, is simplicity itself. It consists of broken bread and wine poured out—these items being eaten and drunk at a festival—a delightful picture of the sufferings of Christ for us and of the fellowship which the saints have with one another and with Him. But this ordinance, also, has been tampered with by men. By some, the wine has been taken away altogether, or reserved only for a priestly caste. And the simple bread has been changed into a consecrated host.
