The Lord's Supper: A Pauline Memorial for the Body of Christ - Rightly Divided - Not a Religious Test, Not a Kingdom Ritual, But a Gracious Reminder of Grace

Posted by Edward R. Cross on May 15, 2026

The Lord's Supper is a Pauline memorial for the Body of Christ — not a New Covenant ordinance, not a sacrament, and not a test of worthiness. This article examines the Corinthian abuse, the neglect behind verse 30, and how to observe the memorial as a joyful reminder of the finished work of Christ.

Grace Greater Than Our Sin

The Christian life has plenty of ups and downs — disappointments, heartbreaks, and failures. Yet one thing never changes: the abiding presence of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In Romans 8, Paul gives us hope even after the struggles of Romans 7:

"For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son…" (Romans 8:29 KJV)

We all fail, but the Lord never abandons us. David proved that — a man after God’s own heart despite his many failures. Because of God’s sure mercies in Christ, we can keep on keeping on.

Even when we believe not, "yet he abideth faithful" (2 Timothy 2:13). God works all things together for good (Romans 8:28). He is never surprised.

The journey continues — grounded in the faithfulness of Christ.
