Lord’s Supper Devotion: A Time to Examine Our Hearts

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:28 (ESV)
“Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.”

Context and Commentary:
Paul writes these words to the church in Corinth, where some were taking the Lord’s Supper in an unworthy manner, without proper reverence or self-reflection. He emphasizes the importance of self-examination to ensure that we approach the Lord’s Supper with a humble and repentant heart.

Devotion:
The Lord’s Supper is a time for self-examination. As we come to the table, let’s take a moment to reflect on our lives, our faith, and our relationships. Are we holding on to sin? Is there someone we need to forgive? Let’s confess our sins to God and seek His forgiveness, so we can partake with a clean heart, fully appreciating the grace He offers us.
