‘Do this in remembrance of Me’

The early church in Corinth had serious problems in doing what Jesus had said about the Lord’s Supper. They had brought in practices from outside the church and were also using segregation. In this passage, from the apostle Paul’s letter to them, we find correctives for these problems.

There is the teaching about self examination and orderly conduct to be observed as well as remembering that the Lord’s Supper comes from Jesus himself. It is about what he has accomplished as a substitute through his death on the cross. It is for people who have been forgiven and set free from guilt through trusting in his sacrifice their for sin.
