Top Highlights
“This does not speak of the worthiness of the individual but the nobleness of how one conducts and participates in the Lord’s supper. Participating ‘unworthily’ is not to ‘eat and drink with a consciousness of unworthiness, for such a sense of ill-desert is one of the conditions of acceptable communion’ (Hodge). The word ‘unworthily’ is an adverb amplifying conduct, not an adjective amplifying character. If worthiness was a qualification for partaking of the Lord’s supper, no one would be able to partake of it. Who is so arrogant as to think he is worthy?” (Pages 108–109)
“All the disciples were invited to participate in the Lord’s Supper. This was a motley crew which in the next few hours would show much failure in following Christ. Those who participate in the Lord’s Supper do not have to be perfect.” (Page 108)
“This is another way of saying irreverence. To be guilty of the body and blood of Christ is to dishonor and disrespect the body of Christ. It is like showing disrespect for the United States in walking on the American flag.” (Page 109)
“was crucified on the cross of Calvary. The bread says that to serve God, your body must be involved.” (Page 107)
“First, it is sufficient. ‘My grace is sufficient.’ God’s help will be adequate. God will not disappoint. Second, it is strong. ‘My [God’s] strength.’ God’s help is strong enough to give us victory in the midst of every trial, to help us through every day, and to do every duty in spite of the thorn.” (Page 252)
