| The Christian and the Lord’s Supper ILLUSTRATED SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON !L ,h t»‘ v i A . lv » E> B J" * . c . 4 , And Alfred J. Buescher ax/ i rf|j| Tiic roots of the Lord’s Supper run away back to the ancient Passover Supper of the Old Testa ment. Instituted on the eve of Israel’s emanci pation from Egyptian bondage it became a me morial of that redemption. The Christian and the Lord’s Supper THE WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (The International Uniform Les.sou on the above topic for Dec. 16 is I Cor. 11:23-3-1. the Golden Text being' verse 26. "For as often as ve eat. this bread, and drink this cup, ye proclaim the Lord's dentil till be come.” By UK. ALVIN K. BELL As the Old Testament church had two sacramental ordinances in which the general mid universal promises of G-od were applied and appropriated by the individual in intimate and per sonal fashion, so the New Testament church ha* two .-uch sacramental or dinances in baptism and the Lord's Supper. The Lord's Suppet is a memorial -ervice: it eon menoiates something. As t ne Passover Supper, instituted on the eve of the exodus led by Mosses to deliver Israel from Egyptian bond age. commemorated that deliverance, o the Lords Supper, instituted by Chri.-t on the eve of the exodus he accomplished in his death, commem orates that exodus in which he eman cipated us from the bondage of sin and death and led thee hurch through death into the glory of eternal life, Jesus said: “This do in remembrance of me’’ and “this do, as oft as ve drink it, in remembrance of me.’’ Truly it is a memorial service: a pan tornime of the breaking of his body and the shedding of his blood for us on the cross. As such it warms our hearts and renews our faith. It Is a Confessional Service The Lord's Supper is aj»o a confes sional service. In it the Christian church in every age confesses its faith and proclaims to the world its belief that. Christ died for our sins. It was instituted to serve as such a witness: “As often as yet eat this I HENDERSON STORES 1 I OPEN EVERY NIGHT UNTIL CHRISTMAS 1 1 i § Starting Monday Night, December 17 j *•‘l aV * I | The merchants whose names are signed below will „ f | keep their stores open every night until Christmas 1 | Beginning Monday Night, December 17 f | <&SSLy This extra shopping time is provided in order that § | everyone may have ample opportunity to T | | make their Christmas Purchases. § & | Leggett’s Dept.

It Is a Communion Service But the Lord’s Supper is much more ! than a memorial and a confessional j service. It is a communion service: ; it. communicates sand bestows some ; thing, Jesus spoke of its heavenly and | spiritual gifts, saving, "This is my body, which is for you,” and “This is * my blood of the covenant which is I shed for many unto remission of sins." Paul speaks sos the earthly ; material elements and of the heaven j ly and spiritual elements present, sav ! ing, “The cup of blessing which we | bless, is it not a communion of the i blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a communion of the | body of Christ?’’ He warns against the ! peril of overlooking this heavenly and | spiritual element, saying. “He that j eateth and drinketh, eateth and i drinketh judgment unto himself, if | he discern not the body.” As truly as j we give ourselves to Christ in penit i enee and faith he gives to us in grace j in this means of grace of his own | appointment. A Call to Revere op® It becomes all who accept the Lord’s gracious invitation to “Take I and eat” and “Drink ye all of it’’ to j approach the Lord’s table with rever | enee. It is the “Holy of of Holies” of ! our religion. Here worship reaches its | highest point in spiritual communion i with Christ. It becomes us to “ex -1 amine ourselves” as to our own need — ———— Scripture—l Coi ~ : Jesus instructed his disciples to prepare a place for his observance of the Passover. They were to follow a man carrying a pitcher of water. He would show them a large room. Here they ate *he Passover and he instituted the Lord’s Supper I Os grace, as to Christ’s bestowal of | that grace through our faith and as j i to cur ptmpose to live in and by this i j grace.
