LORD'S SUPPER

Part 1:
In the present context of Nepalese church, the Holy Communion aka Lord’s Supper is going to more and more ritual than spiritual. Many churches practices this cup once in month or once in two/three months. Some church believes that this to lead this service you must ordain by your senior pastor or bishop. So, they seldom take part in this service in six moth, one year or weather bishop or senior pastor visit their service and give them this opportunities. Some church believes that to take part in this service you must be extra holy, you must have good relationship with God as well as you cannot take part in this service. So must of church believes that its holy ritual, so when you take part in this service you must judges yourself weather you sin against God or not. And it’s not regular service that include our regular Saturday/ Sunday service.

But in the first century church, the believers are gather together to the breaking bread in house fellowship (Act 2:42), and Lord’s Supper is a part of their fellowship (Act 20:11) and part of their worship service (1 cor. 11:24-25). Because first century church know the power and importance of breaking bread and communion cup. Jesus said in His Last supper to his disciple “Do this in the remembrance of me” (Luke 22:19). Paul said to church of Chorith, “For as often as you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do shew the Lord's death till he come.” (1 cor. 11:26). They know the importance and power of Jesus crusification and his broken body. So they have eagerly participated in this service.
In my future posts, I will write about the importance this cup in our Christian life, who can take part in this service, what is the requirement God wanted from you to take part in this service, why we must practice often not seldom and many other things about this. I will also give answer what Paul said to Chorith, judge youself….doesnot take part unworthly/unworthy manner. And  what is does God wanted to show you from this service and from the Jesus Last Supper to with his disciple.
