We gather together to eat the Lord’s supper

English1106

We gather together to eat the Lord’s supper:
By eating and drinking, our oneness we show.
His presence possessing, our oneness confessing,
’Tis thus we eat and drink, and His blessing we know.

We’re eating the bread of His body once broken
As now we’re enjoying His Body made one:
One loaf on the table—one Body, we’re able
To testify to all that the Lord’s made us one.

We also are drinking the cup of His blessing,
The church’s true fellowship of the Lord’s blood;
Redeemed by believing, all saints we’re receiving,
All those who through redemption have come unto God.

Oh, what can we say now except “Hallelujah!”
For such a reality given to us.
Thy blood we’re employing, Thy Body enjoying;
Thus Thou wilt have the church for Thyself glorious.

c. For the Believers to Eat and Drink,

Declaring His Death until He Comes

According to 1 Corinthians 11:26 , we are to declare the Lord’s death until He comes. This shows that when we break bread to remember the Lord and to display His death, we are also waiting for His coming. We should display the Lord’s death and thus remember Him in the spirit and atmosphere of waiting for His coming. We have a glorious hope: one day Christ will return and change our body ( 15:51-54 ). When our body of humiliation is transfigured into the body of His glory at His coming ( Phil. 3:21 ), our redemption will be complete ( Rom. 8:23 ).

We should take the Lord’s supper unto the remembrance of Him by declaring His redeeming death without ceasing until He comes back to set up God’s kingdom ( Matt. 26:29 ). By His first coming the Lord accomplished His death to carry out an all-inclusive redemption for the producing of the church. After His death He went away to receive the kingdom, and He will come again with the kingdom ( Dan. 7:13-14 ; Luke 19:12 ). The period between His first and second comings is the church age. The church thus bridges the gap between the Lord’s first coming and His second coming and connects His death in the past with God’s kingdom in the future. Hence, to declare the Lord’s death until He comes may imply the declaring of the existence of the church for the bringing in of the kingdom. When we eat the Lord’s supper in this way, with a view to a continual remembrance of Him in His first and second comings, that supper becomes a satisfaction to Him in relation to the kingdom, God’s administration.

Hallelujah! By eating and drinking our oneness we show. We can testify to all that the Lord’s made us one. Lord, we want to have a deeper and stronger enjoyment and experience of Christ as the peace offering daily, and bring our enjoyment of Christ to the Lord’s table to praise the Lord and worship the Father. Praise the Lord for such a reality given to us! 😀
