But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 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. ![]() For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. " 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. We read of the institution of the Communion also in 1 Corinthians 11:23-31, as Paul goes into great detail concerning the importance of discerning the Lord's body, and how we are to conduct ourselves, and to bring our thoughts under subjection, when we partake of this solemn feast. His precious blood being the reconciling factor between God and man, Jesus wants to ensure that each one of us comes in contact with His blood and receives the healing benefits and forgiveness that it alone can provide. ![]() Hebrews 9:22 tells us that." without shedding of blood is no remission." The Old Testament was confirmed by the blood of bulls and goats, but this New Testament is established upon the blood of Jesus Christ. Its importance is paramount, for it is the blood of the new testament, the new covenant, and without it, there can be no remission of sins. Jesus then takes the cup, and gives thanks, gives it to His disciples, and tells them." Drink ye all of it for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." He uses the phrase "drink ye all of it", not to ensure that every drop in the cup was ingested, but rather, to establish that all of his disciples drink of the cup, in other words, that none should let the cup pass by them without drinking from it. ![]()
