Our parting look at the Lord’s Supper table impresses upon us the glory and seriousness of the gospel

We consider how we see:

  1. Its glory
  2. Its seriousness

Scripture readings:  Hebrews 9:11-28, Revelation 2:12-17

The Lord’s Supper testifies that we have complete forgiveness of all our sins in the one sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross once for all

This basic truth helps us:

  1. Expose a serious error concerning the table of the Lord
  2. Know who are to come to the table of the Lord
  3. Explain who are not to be admitted to the table of the Lord

Scripture readings:  Hebrews 7:20-28, Hebrews 9:23-28

The self-examination between baptism and the Lord’s Supper

  3. Only for the glory of God

Scripture reading:  2 Corinthians 13

R. H. Bremmer
