The Lords Supper a reverent celebration of thanksgiving

1 Cor 11:
24 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.

25 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
(MY NOTE: Do this in REMEMBRANCE of Me & My > Finished sin redemptive work)

Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words: SHEW [ 11,,G1325, didomi ]
(3) katangello, Acts 16:17; Acts 26:23; 1 Corinthians 11:26, "proclaim;" in the last passage the partaking of the elements at the Lord's Supper is not a "showing forth" of His death, but a proclamation of it;

1 Cor 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do SHEW the Lord's death till he come.
(MY NOTE: As often as ye eat the bread & drink the cup of blessing you shew/PROCLAIM/remember the Lord's death)

1 Cor 11:27 Who ever eats this bread, & drinks this cup of the Lord, unworthily, will be guilty of the body & blood of the Lord
(MY NOTE: See Bible dictionary discern definition below)

28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
(MY NOTE: The Lords supper is a intimate/sacred celebratory partaking/remembering of the Lords Holy Body & Blood sacrifice & should be received accordingly.)

1 Cor 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
(MY NOTE: He that doesn't DISCERN/understand what the partaking of the bread & wine represent (His broken body & spilled sinless God blood). REREADING; it READS: anyone that DRINKS unworthily! It DOESN'T read: he who IS unworthy (ALL are sinners & therefore unworthy)

Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words: DISCERN [ A-2,Verb,G1252, diakrino ]
1 Corinthians 11:29, with reference to partaking of the bread and the cup of the Lord's Supper unworthily, by not "discerning" or discriminating what they represent;

Heb 9:22 accentuates why Christ's blood was shed

Heb 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
(MY NOTE: The sin payment is made thru Christ's sinless/innocent blood given (Lev 17:11) This sin payment is supplied thru Christ's love & grace Rev 1:5, Eph 7:7) & received thru faith (Rom 3:25)

Matt 8:17 accentuates Christ's body was broken

Matt 8:17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities ""& bore our diseases""
(MY NOTE: Christs Body was Broken for the believers spiritual & physical health. By His strips/wounds we are healed (Also see Isa 53 4-6, 1 Pet 2:24) The promises in these verses are also received/accessed thru faith)

Ex 12:43-48. No foreigners, servants, sojourners or strangers could partake in the in the Passover meal unless they were circumcised. (Also see Gen 17:7-14)
(MY NOTE: Only people under the old covenant of circumcision were allowed to partake in the Passover meal. Under the new covenant anyone that partakes unworthily/undiscerningly will face God's judgment)

Passover/The Lords Supper are God given decreed ordinance's.

For Jews, deliverance from slavery & 10th plague/angel of death. For Christians deliverance from sin & death with an added health bonus

Proper partaking of the Lords supper brings HEALTH/by His strips/wounds you are healed (Also see Isa 53:4-6, 1 Pet 2:24)

And LIFE Jn 6:53 Jesus said, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man & drink his blood, ""ye have no life in you""

Both received by partaking with Faith placed in the Lord Jesus finished sin atoning work/sacrifice. Amen
