This is a different attitude from that of a funeral service. Too many church leaders think of the Lord's Supper as being the process of re-living the funeral of Jesus. It is a time of joy and appreciation. We human beings are very vulnerable to being forgetful. God has always known that.
Holidays are a time of remembrance.
We must never forget the cross and what it means to us. The Lord's supper is the way we are reminded of this great salvation. When we partake of the Lord's supper in an unselfish manner we accomplish this mission. It is in this way that we build up the church. In our own brotherhood we have had a heritage of interpreting verse 27 to mean that we must be worthy of the Lord's supper before we can partake.
