I Corinthians 23-29 (NIV)
For I received from the LORD what I also passed on to you; The LORD JESUS, on the night He was betrayed, took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, " This is My Body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me." In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My Blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of Me." For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the LORD'S death until He comes.
Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the LORD in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the Body and Blood of the LORD. A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the Body of the LORD eats and drinks judgment on himself.
The Apostle Paul received this message and insight from the LORD and passed it on to us in the Scripture. The Body and Blood of JESUS is Holy and should not be received in a casual or flippant fashion. To do so brings judgment upon anyone who does not regard the Holiness of the Body and Blood of JESUS.
The word "remember" is the essence of of the Hebrew letter Zayin. In Psalm 119: 49-56, each verse begins with the letter Zayin - "Remember". Why are we called to remember? If we do not remember, we will forget the high cost of our redemption. We will forget that grace is free; mercy is free; unconditional love is free, but it cost GOD His only Son.
WE HAD A DEBT WE COULDN'T PAY; JESUS PAID THE DEBT HE DIDN'T OWE;
ALL FOR THE SAKE OF LOVE.
JESUS WASHED OUR FEET FROM THE DUST OF SIN; LET US WASH THE FEET OF OTHERS.
