Unworthily,Taking Passover
(From Forerunner Commentary)

1 Corinthians 11:27  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) It is quite possible to eat the Passover unworthily. When we do so, we take upon ourselves the guilt of Christ's death. That is, our attitude denigrates His sacrifice, and, in effect, it is as though He died in vain. Staff Discerning Christ's Broken Body

1 Corinthians 11:29  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) To eat or drink in an unworthy manner is to treat His sacrifice with irreverence, disrespect, or without due appreciation, as shown by the conduct of our lives. To do so means one is not showing much love in his life because, since he has not seen his sins and brought them before God for forgiveness, he has not been forgiven much. Because he is still wrapped up in himself and his sins, he is not truly free to love others. John W. Ritenbaugh Passover, Obligation, and Love

1 Corinthians 11:29-32  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) The result of taking the Passover unworthily is that we come under judgment, for we will not be cleared of our transgressions. Thus, our lives will not be protected, even as the Egyptians were not protected from the death angel during the tenth plague (Exodus 12:29-33). Lack of self-examination brought upon many Christians much bodily suffering and untimely death. Staff Discerning Christ's Broken Body

1 Corinthians 11:29  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) "Discerning the Lord's body" means recognizing our personal guilt for Christ's suffering. It means acknowledging our transgression of God's law. Discerning the Lord's body means, "Go and sin no more" (John 8:11). Otherwise, we "crucify again for [ourselves] the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame" (Hebrews 6:6). Staff Discerning Christ's Broken Body
