Jun 7, 2026 “Discern the Body of the Lord”(1 Corinthians 11:17–34)
1 Corinthians 11:17-34 New International Version
Correcting an Abuse of the Lord’s Supper
17 In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good.
Correcting an Abuse of the Lord’s Supper
17 In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good.
18 In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it.
19 No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval.
20 So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat,
21 for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers. As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk.
22 Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God by humiliating those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? Certainly not in this matter!
23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,
23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,
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 So then, 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.
27 So then, 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 Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup.
29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.
30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.
31 But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment.
32 Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be finally condemned with the world.
33 So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together.
33 So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together.
34 Anyone who is hungry should eat something at home, so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment.
And when I come I will give further directions.
And when I come I will give further directions.
Discern the Body of the Lord
1 Corinthians 11: 17-34
Paul addresses the church in Corinth over their church practices.
1 Corinthians 11:17 ESV
[17] But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.
Paul is not chastising them for not following the rules. They were following communion rules, but they were not doing this for Jesus. The rich were not remembering the grace Jesus gave to us. The poor were being left out. Some were even becoming drunk on the wine.
1 Corinthians 11:20-21 ESV
[20] When you come together, it is not the Lord’s supper that you eat. [21] For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal. One goes hungry, another gets drunk.
The table of the Lord is a place of grace. It is a place where unworthy people are invited to eat the Lord's Supper. We all understand we cannot live without God's grace. We are all here because of grace that we are saved. The person beside me has shown the same grace as was given to me. It is Jesus who is the host of this dinner.
1 Corinthians 11:27-28 ESV
[27] Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. [28] Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
If you have the Lord's Supper without discerning ourselves. We have to understand what we are taking. We have to remember that our sins kept us from God and put Jesus on the cross. That the cross is a place of humility. This is why Paul considered not discerning the body of the Lord and taking communion seriously.
If we do not take the time to reflect on and understand what we are doing in church. We might not understand the scriptures if we don't try to discern what was written. It is too easy to blindly follow rituals and practices and not understand what is happening and why it has happened.
Communion allows us to re-examine our lives and remember what Jesus has done for us. We should take the Lord's Supper intentionally and respectfully.
The Corinthian Church mimicked the Lord's Supper, but they did not partake in The Lord's Supper. Their actions did not reflect someone who felt gratitude or humility in being saved by the gift of grace. They were not acting as a group that was brought together by Jesus. They were not treating people as the way of the cross.
Our lives should be changed with the understanding that Jesus rescued us from sin and death while restoring our relationship to God. Jesus has made us one and sends us out to love one another.
