1 Corinthians 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. I. IT AFFORDS A VISIBLE AND PERMANENT TESTIMONY TO THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL. II. IT CALLS IN THE SENSES TO THE AID OF OTHER POWERS AND FACULTIES FOR THE PROMOTION OF PIETY. III. IT PROVIDES A PUBLIC TEST OF OUR RELIGIOUS SINCERITY. IV. IT TENDS TO INCREASE OUR LOVE OF THAT SAVIOUR TO WHOSE MEMORY IT IS ESPECIALLY DEDICATED. V. HOW WELL CALCULATED IS IT TO HUMBLE THE IMPENITENT SINNER! VI. IT CHEERS THE HEART OF THE TRUE BELIEVER. (J. W. Cunningham, M.A.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
