Bread & Wine

1 Corinthians 11 (King James Version)
23 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:
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
26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come
27 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
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body
30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep

Bread & Wine are two well known symbols of Christianity. Heathen people since ages think that Christians drink wine in the Church every Sunday and they have a real bad opinion about this without being known the real meaning of it

Why Should we take part in the Communion every Sunday?
From the above scripture portion we can derive 3 points

Remembrance - verses 24, 25
Lord's death - verse 26
Self-exam - verse 28

But if you have ever observed, most of the time "only Remembrance" is being preached always "before Communion" leaving the other 2 idle (Lords's death & self-exam) Bible is very clear about it & we cant ignore the truth

Remembrance - By taking part, we need to remember the body of Christ & the blood of Christ. What's so special about it? The body of Christ has hundreds of hours of prayer life, so when you take part in His body, how many hours of prayer life do you have?, likewise, we can derive so many things from the body of Christ. Otherwise, if 2 opposite things are mixed (Body of Christ & your body with sin) then there will be a bad reaction, that's what is written in verses 27, 29, 30

Lord's death - We proclaim the gospel whenever we take part in communion, we are indirectly talking about the death of Christ, that means, the death of our own body to this world

Self-exam - Finally, self-examination, how many of us do this? we need to set things right with God before we take part in the Communion, otherwise read verses 29, 30 again

Let's not do things as a ritual / habit / routine. Know the truth!!!
