DAILY?READINGS: 1 Samuel 28-29; Isaiah 66; Romans 8:18-39
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 1 Corinthians 11:28
Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread. Exodus 12:15
The Lord’s Supper is not the time or place for personal introspection. The preparation for the Passover feast required getting rid of leaven in the house for a week before the actual Passover. Leaven symbolizes sin and we need to prepare our hearts by dealing with our failures during the week prior to our remembrance feast. The examination comes first and then, “so let him eat.” —David M. McCulloch
Nothing between my soul and the Saviour,
So that His blessed face may be seen;
Nothing preventing the least of His favour,
Keep the way clear! Let nothing between. —Charles A. Tindley
