On this date, March 23nd Margo was reading in the book of Mark 2:1-12 titled "Jesus Heals a Paralytic" and in I Corinthians 11:23-34 titled "Sharing at the Lord's Table".
Margo underlined these verses in the passage in I Corinthians, the apostle Paul writing:
24:and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." 25:In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." 26:For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
27:Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28:A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. 29:For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30:That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.
This is what she underlined in the commentary:
"(1)We should take the Lord"s Super with a repentant attitude because we are remembering that Christ died for our sins. (2) We should take it after self-examination. We are to be prepared and ready, doing it only through our belief in and love for Christ. (3) We should take it in recognition of Jesus' act of love in taking away the punishment we deserve for our sins. (4) We should take it with mutual consideration, waiting until everyone is present and eating in an orderly and unified manner."
