I have a question about the Blood that was shed for the JEWS every so often for them by the Levites was it not for the past sins of the Jew that was offering the sacrifice. (individual). Today at the Lords Supper is it not scriptural to say that in partaking of this fruit of the vine, you should realize what you are about to do and partake worthy. Knowing full well this deices HIS DEATH BURIAL AND RESURRECTING. Depicting our sins are forgiven for us as sinners. But does it not go deeper than that for us as CHRISTIANS, we sin every day and need forgiving of those sins, and so the LORDS SUPPER IS A PERSONAL WAY TO SAY LORD FORGIVE ME OF MY PAST WEEK OF MY UNFORGIVEN SINS IN MY LIFE. Otherwise how do we get the DEMONINATIONAL WORLD to look at us for it on the first Day as a COMMAND.
First, the apostle Paul corrected abuses of the Lord’s Supper in the Corinthian congregation (1 Corinthians 11:20-29). The apostle warned these first century brethren lest they “eateth and drinketh unworthily” (verses 27, 29). The word “worthily” is an adverb describing the manner in which the Corinthians were incorrectly observing the Lord’s Supper; adverbs usually modify and describe verbs as here. The word “worthy,” which does not appear in this context, is an adjective. Brethren are mistaken when they partake or refrain from partaking the Lord’s Supper based on whether they esteem themselves “worthy”; we are never “worthy”! However, we can observe the Lord’s Supper worthily or unworthily, respecting the manner in which we observe the Lord’s Supper. The apostle Paul addressed the manner in which Christians at Corinth observed the Lord’s Supper and not the esteem they may have had toward themselves while partaking the Lord’s Supper.
Second, the Lord’s Supper is a memorial feast that causes Christians who partake of it to remember the great sacrifice that Jesus Christ made for us. “And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you” (Luke 22:19-20; see also 1 Corinthians 11:24-25). The Lord’s Supper is never described in Scripture as a mechanism through which one’s continual observance a Christian’s sins are taken away. Actually, the blood of Jesus Christ removed the sins of those who had lived faithfully under Patriarchy and Judaism as well as the sins of those who live faithfully under Christianity (Hebrews 9:12-15). The Lord’s Supper is a memorial to that fact.
Third, the sins of Christians are removed through renewed application of the blood of Jesus Christ to the souls of erring Christians:
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. (1 John 1:7-10)
To accomplish this, the apostle Peter instructed Simon, the erring Samaritan Christian, to repent and pray (Acts 8:22).
Respecting the weekly frequency that the Lord’s Supper is to be observed, apostolic example (Paul) in Troas, recorded through inspiration (Luke) appears in Acts 20:7. We are to understand the Christian obligation for weekly observance of the Lord’s Supper as we are to understand that the contribution is a weekly worship event as well (1 Corinthians 16:1-2) and that, formerly under Judaism, keeping every Sabbath Day holy was obligatory, too (Exodus 20:8).
