1 Corinthians 11:24-26, Ye Do Show the Lord’s Death Till He Come

1 Corinthians 11:24-26 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.

William MacDonald observed well, “Verse 26 touches on the question as to how frequently the Lord’s Supper should be observed. For as often as you eat … and drink … . No legalistic rule is laid down; neither is any fixed date given. It seems clear from Acts 20:7 that the practice of the disciples was to meet on the first day of the week to remember the Lord. That this ordinance was not intended simply for the early days of the church is abundantly proved by the expression till He comes. Godet beautifully points out that the Lord’s Supper is “the link between His two comings, the monument of the one, the pledge of the other.”

The observance of the Lord’s Supper is as a witness of the Lord’s death, that He indeed died for our sins according to Scriptures, by His broken body and shed blood, we received the remission of sins through repentance and faith toward Jesus Christ.

The believer observes the Lord’s Supper regularly till the end of their earthly days or till the time when He comes to receive His church to glory. Amen.
