The Bread & Cup

When the church at Corinth mixed the sacred nature of the Lord’s supper with their division and selfishness, they received a dire warning from God through His apostle. They were told that the bread and cup were to bring remembrance to the power of the body and blood of Jesus sacrificed for their sin. At the same time, they were not to participate in this time of worship until they had examined their hearts. God is not mocked and will not tolerate the mixing of the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. In doing so, some of the Corinthians were said to have become weak, sick and even dead. The same consequences await those who despite clear warning continue to profane that which is holy.
