Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson, the spirit of Christian worship, I Cor. 11:20-34, for Sunday, November 3. In today's lesson Paul rebukes the Corinthians for allowing a solemn act of worship to become merely a time for revelry and feasting. In the early days of Christianity the Communion was held at a love feast or church supper. apparently as the concluding act of the meal, very much like the Last Supper when Jesus instituted the Communion following a

regular meal. By the middle of the second century there were many abuses and the sacrament had lost its meaning. Only if those who partake of the sacrament have a reverent attitude can it be meaningful Vs. 20, 21, 22. “When yo come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord’s Supper !... For in eating every one taketh before another nts own supper: and one is hungry and another is drunken . . . What? have ye not bouses to eat and drink? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not." The professed observance was not really a sincere observance of the Lord’s Supper. Some apparently ate their own food as soon as they arrived, and even became intoxicated. The love feast which was meaningful wnen first instituted, had degenerated into a pot luck supper, in which there was no real fellowship of < the members. The poor who could bring little or nothing felt embarassed and went away hungry. Paul deplored their rudeness as well as their lack of Christian fellowship and reverent observance of the sacrament. Vs. 23, 24. "For I have received of the Lord that which I also delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread . . . 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.” Paul reminded the Corinthians of the real meaning of the sacrament which Christ instituted and which someone who was there undoubtedly told Paul about in detail. In establishing an ordinance in commemoration of his death. Christ showed where he wanted the emphasis placed when they thought of Him. Vs. 25, 26. “After th* same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do, 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 cojpe.” The new testament means Mq new #>venpftt, prpfeibly an allusion to Jeremiah 31:31. The celebration of the Lord's Supper proclaims our faith in Christ’s atoning death. - Vs. 27. 28. 29 “Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord . . But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup . . . For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation of himself, not discerning the Lord's body.” Paul was particularly disturbed about the gluttony of the Corinthians and their cliquishness, which showed their inability to see the significance of the sacrament. When rightly observed, the Communion ,is a force that unifies human personality and reconciles human differences. The Corinthians debased themselves, which always produces sickness of min< and body. Every man should examine himself to see if he is morally and spiritually fit to partake of the sacrament. Vs. 30, 31. “For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. . . For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.” Paul considers the fact that many Corinthians were sick and there were many deaths was evidence of divine judgement upon them for profaning the sacrament. If we really examine ourselves frequently and correct our ways, there would be no need for rebuke or condemnation, as evi-

denced ia the next verse. Vs. 33, 34. “Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another . . . And if any man hunger, let him eat at home: that he may not come together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.” The purpose of Holy Communion is not to satisfy hunger which can be done at home, but for spiritual growth and true Christian fellowship. —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Christian Education, National Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., and used by permission.
