Ritehit 74 A Cd., Limited, Toronto THE LORD’S SUPPER Sunday, May 26.—Matt. 2'6:17-30 I Cor. 11:23-29. Golden Text This do in remembrance of Me. (ICor. 11:24c.) Only God’s righteousness can cover the sin of the sinner. But this meant the shedding of Christ’s own blood, and his -death. “For the wages of sin is death”; and as "all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God,” there were only two pos­ sible alternatives; either all hu­ man beings would 'have to die not only the first but also the second death, or a Substitute would have to die in their place. Christ was that Substitute, and was ‘The Lamb slain from the 'foun­ dation of the world.” All the ani­ mal sacrifices, with the shedding of their blood, ordained of God in the Old Testament from the time when Adam and Eve first sinned in tlhe garden of Eden, down through the centuries until "the [Lamb of God” Himself came, wore divinely planned types or symbols of Christ’s .sacrifice on the Cross. "Without shedding of blood is no remission” (Heb. 9:22); and so Cain’s bloodless offering to- God "of the fruit of tihe ground” could not be accepted; but Abel’s offering “of the firstlings o.f his flock” was in accordance with God’s plan of atone­ ment. “And the Lord had respect' unto Abel and to his offering; but unto Cain and to his offering He had not respect” (Gen. 4:4, 5).* Wihen -God, in order to- bring the Israelites out of their bondage in Egypt, was t0! pass through the land of Egypt with the judgment of death visited upon every house, He estab­ lished t'he passover and the slaying of the passover lamb, with the blood marks upon the door-posts, as a sign that those who thus accepted God’s offer of salvation should be deliver­ ed from death as God would "pass over” them. The observance of the passover supper, thus begun, was commanded by God and was observ­ ed by Israel through the centuries. And now Jesus Christ, Himself, tJhe true passover Lamb, of whom John the Baptist had said at the be­ ginning of His ministry. "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29), had come to the end -of His earthly ministry and, the night before going to the cross JEIe was about' to- eat the passover supper with His disciples. It would, be the last time in. history when the passover supper would need to be eaten, -on this earth, by God’s people. For_the type would be fulfilled, on the morrow, by the an­ titype, as the bood of the passover Lamb was poured out on Calvary. "And as they were eating,” in this observance of the passover, Christ instituted the Lord’s Supper. He took bread, and blessed it, and break it, and gave it to his disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is my body.’ And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying 'Drink ye all of it; for this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” We must not -say, as some do, that Paul, or ilater "theologians,” adding to the Christian faith something that was not in Christ’s own mind, "invented” the theology of substitu­ tionary sacrifice and the plan -of sal­ vation. How could it be more clearly set forth than in these worjls from His own lips? A few days earlier, after foretelling His own crucifixion and resurrection. He said that "the Son of man came not to be minis­ tered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Matt. 20:28). And in His great discourse on "the bread of life” (John- 8) after He had miraculously fed five thou­ sand, the Lord said to Himself: ‘For the bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world ... I am the bread of life; he that oometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst.” Again in that same discourse: "And the bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” Many years later, after the Lord had died in the sinner’s place, and had been raised again and had as­ cended into Hoaven, He appeared 1 to Saul, whose name was changed to Paul after his conversion and to whom the 'Lord Jesus revealed the full meaning and method and mes­ sage of the Gospel. iSo Paul writes to- the Corinthian Church about the Lord’s Supper, having received this directly from the Lord. He gives us words of Christ that are recorded in Matthews as spoken at tJhe supper of the broken bread; "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you (or, which is for you : this do in remembrance of Me.” And of the fruit of t)he vine: "This cup is the new testament in My blood: this ye do, as oft as ye drink it, in remem­ brance of Me.” ISo we know from Paul’s inspired writing that the Lord estabished this supper as a permanent memor­ ial to Himself to be observed by the Church. How long shall it be observ­ ed? "For as -often as ye ' eat this bread, and drink: this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till He come.” Until the second coming of Christ tiliis sacred memorial is to be ob­ served by His people. It looks back­ ward -and it looks forward, to- the two greatest events in the history of mankind: the Son of God’s first coming and tlhe Son of God’s second coming. He came the first time in humiliation to die for men’s sin and become their Saviour. He will come the second time in glory, to reign over tlhis earth. "So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He ap­ pear the second time without sin (this is, apart from tlhe question of sin) unto salvation” (Heb. 9.2 8.)
