Eat and Drink
“For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till He come” (1 Corinthians 11:26).
Do you know what it is to EAT and DRINK of the Lord’s supper? I have often wished that the words eat and drink were printed in capital letters in our Bibles. Many will say, I can remember the Lord in my heart, and while that is true, we need to realize that there is something physical that He has asked us to do to give expression to what is in our hearts.
What would I think if you were invited to my home for a meal, sat down at my table, but refused to eat of the supper provided? I would be very disappointed! Yet often there are those who are truly saved who come to the breaking of bread meeting and yet never eat and drink of the Lord’s supper. What a disappointment this must be to the One who died for us and who has invited us, and requested, “Take, eat … . After the same manner also He took the cup … this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me” (1 Corinthians 11:24-25).
Will you EAT and DRINK of that supper today?
