Its purpose:       1. A memorial. Jesus said: "This do in remembrance of me" Luke 22:19       2. A communion. (I Corinthians 10:16) Not a communion with one another, but with Christ.       3. To build us up in Christ. The more we reverently think of His death for us, the more we are determined to live for Him. II. Who can partake:       Compare 1 Corinthians 11:23 and I Corinthians 1:1-2. We here learn that Paul says all who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ gave it to His followers and has never taken it from them. It is the Lord's Table and is spread for His people, and no man, or company of men, can rightfully deprive one of God's children from partaking. Close communion is un-Scriptural. III. How often partake:       From Acts 2:42 we learn that the Lord's Supper had a prominent part in the worship of the early disciples. By comparing Acts 20:7 and I Corinthian 16:1-2, we discover that when the disciples met it was to partake of the Lord's Supper, and it was their custom to meet every Lord's Day. SALVATION 1.
