ONE YEAR BIBLE READING, 8/18/15

NEW TESTMENT READING

1 CORENTHIANS 11:1-34

Paul is teaching the Church in two areas of doctrine.

1. The divine order of God's aurthority.

2. The proper way to take the Lord's Supper.

Co. 11:3 The head or authority of Christ is God.

               The hear of man is Christ.

               The head of woman is man.

God is a God of divine order and he has set a order for man to follow, if a man will obey God's order, he will prosper and be blessed if not he will have problems which man will not be able to solve without going back to God's order. A. Christ is man's covering and man cannot properly address God unless he is covered with Christ or the ANOINTING, which means Christ. The woman must be covered and her covering is man and she is not properly covered unless she is in subjection to man. She should have hair on her head, Paul does not specify how long her hair should be but long enough to cover her hear. She must not preach or prophesy without a covering. Man is not required to have a natural covering because the ANOINTING OF THE CHRIST is his covering and he cannot properly preach or minister without this covering of Christ.

2 THE PROPER WAY OF RECEIVING THE LORD'S SUPPER OR COMMUNION.

This  ordinance was a reminder of the death of our Lord Jesus Christ until he returns, also it takes us back to the very first Passover Feast that Israel partook of the night they were delivered from Egypt's bondage and started them towards the Promise Land  that God had given them by Promise. The bread represented the body of Jesus and the wine was a type of the blood of Jesus. The broken and bruised body of Jesus prepared a new and living way for us to enter into the presence of God and the blood was give in the cup of wine which represented the new covenant of the New Testament. If you can receive it every new testament promise that was given is included in the CUP OF WINE and in the broken bruised body of Jesus secures the healing of our body. 

Now Paul states that if we partake of the bread and cup unworthily not discerning the body of Jesus we are subject to sickness, weakness or even an early death, so before to partake of the communion we need to pray and recognize the reason for taking the Lord's Supper and to be able to discern His Body. (My concept) to discern the body of Christ is not only to understand and believe that by Jesus body we were delivered from sin and sickness and death but we must also discern the many membered body, who make of the body of Christ in the Church.)
