Many churches observe communion this Sunday. The Lord’s Supper is a special opportunity to participate/fellowship together as church family. Don’t insult Christ by refusing His invitation for superficial reasons. (Recognizing that there are reasons such as poor health or the demands of employment that some cannot make it).
But, for those who do participate, let’s heed Paul’s warning in 1 Corinthians 11:17. Paul told the Corinthians that, given divisions in their midst, it would have been better if they didn’t participate in communion.
But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse. For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you . . . (1 Cor 11:17-18a)
To partake in communion in an unworthy way, is to sit down at the table of the Lord Jesus Christ, and then blatantly spit in the soup.
