Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying,...

That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. The Lord’s supper is a simple service of remembrance. Nothing is said about an altar, or a priest, or a sacrifice. Our Lord took bread, gave...

And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament — “The New Covenant” —
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come. “Show” or “proclaim.” The latter is the better word: “Ye do proclaim the Lord’s...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come. “By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored, We keep the memory adored, And show the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. He shall be guilty with respect to that body, — not with respect to that bread, against which he cannot sin, — but...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. “Unworthily,” that is, in a thoughtless, careless way; or with a view to worldly gain, as some used to take it in order to obtain office under government; and as some, doubtless, do take it, to obtain the alms of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh condemnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. You notice that I introduced the word “condemnation” instead of “damnation.” That word...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. If such a man has treated “this bread” and “this cup” with contempt, he has treated “the body and blood of the Lord” with contempt; it shall be so reckoned to him. Many have been trouble by this verse. They...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. Paul does not say, “Let a man examine himself, and then not eat or drink at the communion.” The examination should lead him to repentance, and to faith, and should then bring him to the table of fellowship in the right state of mind and heart. The examination...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. “Judgment” or “condemnation” is the word in the original, not “damnation.” That is not a fair translation, neither does it express the truth....
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, — We are all unworthy to come to the table of our Lord; who among us can possibly be thought to be worthy to come to such a feast as this? But the apostle is writing concerning those who came there carelessly, or...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But let a man examine himself, Let a man look himself up and down, as a lawyer cross-questions a witness, as a man examines money to see whether it has the true ring of gold about it; or not: “Let a man examine himself.” 1Co_11:28. And so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. Let him come as a true believer, as sincere; if not perfect,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, earth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. “Eateth and drinketh judgment to himself,” for “judgment” is the word here used by the apostle.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Eateth and drinketh “condemnation” to himself, — For that is how the word should be rendered, —
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Not discerning the Lord’s body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. God is always carrying out a system of discipline in his Church. To a large extent, he lets the world, for the present, sin, as it pleases; but in his own family he uses the rod; and when the Lord’s supper is dishonoured, there is no doubt that the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For he that eateth, and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. He does not see the meaning of the emblem of Christ’s death.. He degrades the symbol by making it take the place of the thing signified. He sees the bread, but not the body; and he damnifies himself, condemns himself, by such...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. It appears that God visited this church at Corinth with sickness, and took away many of the members by death, because they had profaned the Lord’s table, and had walked in a disorderly manner before him. Paul did not mean to say that these persons were lost; but he intended to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. Believers, who are rendered sick, or who even die, because of their offence against the Lord’s ordinance, are not...
