1. Selfish Christians (17-22)
When the Corinthian Christians came together to share a fellowship meal and to eat together the Lord's Supper, they did not think about the Lord, but about eating and drinking. The meal that should unite them became a display of their disunity. When we come together, we must be sensitive to the needs of one another and not just think about ourselves.
2. The meaning of the Lord's Supper (23-34)
On the night Jesus was betrayed, he taught his disciples the meaning of his death, and assured them of his coming again. The bread represents Jesus' broken body. It tells me that he loves me and that he loves the world. The cup represents the new covenant sealed in his blood. His blood cleanses my sins and I am united with him in his death and resurrection. I must proclaim his death for the sins of the world until he comes again.
Application: Lord, thank you for the new covenant in your blood. Help me to love fellow Christians and proclaim the gospel of forgiveness until you come.
One Word: Proclaim Jesus until he comes
