Episode 76 The significance of the Lord’s Table
The Lord’s Table is central to Christian doctrine and experience.
The Lord Himself initiated this on the night of the last Passover.
“Do this in remembrance of Me” was His command. What does this
mean? How do we fulfill this commandment? Today we want to look at
what we term “The Lord’s Table” and its significance to us in the
gathering together of God’s people. We will concentrate on two
passages of scripture, namely I Cor. 10:14-22 and 11:23-34
Our focus is on the following:
• This is the New Covenant expression of the Old Covenant
Passover
• This is how Jesus commanded us to remember Him
• We express our love for Jesus by obeying Him in this. God’s love
is defined ultimately at Calvary
• To partake of the elements declares that I am partaking of His
life
• To not partake is also a statement that something is wrong and we
are not loving Jesus in some way
• Partaking together gives forth a testimony that God is in our
midst and His love is prevailing
• Individual and corporate accountability are included
• The Table only has value as we move individually and together in
faith before God
• Qualification for partaking of the table
• Judgement
• Communion of the body of Christ
• Worship
