THIS is how we read in the synopsis on 1 Cor. 11 In the Lord's supper—
1. The Lord's death, His broken body, were brought to mind, and, as it were, made present to faith as the basis and foundation of everything.
2. The Lord's body had been broken; wondrous fact,! to which the Holy Ghost was to bear witness, &c.
3. The heart was brought back to this. The body of the Lord Himself had been broken, the lips of Jesus had claimed our remembrance.
4. His broken body was the object before their hearts in this memorial.
5. It is a body broken and not glorified.
6. The broken body was, as it were, before their eyes in this supper.
7. If they despised the broken body and blood of the Lord by taking part in it lightly, chastisement was inflicted. (Synopsis Vol. IV. 256.)
Scripture says, " A bone of him shall not be broken;" not that His body should not be; the saying of which would contradict the fact (see John 19:32-3732Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. 33But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: 34But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. 35And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. 36For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. 37And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced. (John 19:32‑37)) " They shall look on him whom they pierced."
