Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 11:17-33

Criticisms and Instructions With Regard to The Lord's Supper in Church Worship (11:17-33). But Paul's dissatisfaction goes beyond just the covering of the hair and lack of restraint while praying and prophesying. He is also concerned for their general behaviour and lack of restraint when the churches gather together. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 11:26

'For as often as you eat this bread, and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till he come.' And in their participation of Him in this way they should also recognise that they were proclaiming His death, in which they were participating, something they would continue to do until His coming again. This feast would go on and on being celebrated and would never cease until His return at His second coming. Through it they would continue to proclaim the Lord's death, and all that it... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 11:7-34

1 Corinthians 11:7-Nahum : . The Desecration of the Lord’ s Supper.— Paul feels that in one respect he must restrict his praise. Their meetings damage rather than profit them. He cannot help believing part of what he hears about their divisions. To be sure they must have their factions, or their best men would get no chance of displaying their qualities! When they meet they have supper, it is true, but it is out of the question to eat the Lord’ s Supper. Possibly the poorer members could not... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians 11:26

From hence it appears, that the bread and wine is not (as papists say) transubstantiated, or turned into the very substance of the flesh and blood of Christ, when the communicants eat it and drink it. It is still the same bread and cup it was. The end of the institution is but to commemorate Christ’s death; and upon that account the waiting upon God in this ordinance, will be a standing duty incumbent upon Christians, until Christ shall come to judgment. Some think, show ye, is a better... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Corinthians 11:17-34

CRITICAL NOTESNEW TOPIC: THE LORD’S SUPPER AND THE LOVE-FEASTS1 Corinthians 11:17.—Backward reference: the directions just given, and the general praise of 1 Corinthians 11:2, are not to be taken to carry with them “praise” in regard to this further matter. Indeed, 1 Corinthians 11:16 precludes it, for in this they are out of line with the holier manner and “custom” of other Churches. Better … worse.—“Not for edification and spiritual improvement, but the reverse.”1 Corinthians 11:18. First of... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 11:26

1 Corinthians 11:26 I. It is a very wonderful fact, very startling at first sight to those who have not steadily considered it, that the chief ordinance of Christianity is the commemoration and proclamation of a death. Festivals of the nativity, of the resurrection, of the ascension, however beautiful may be their meaning and benign their influence, are at any rate not of Divine institution. The feast which Christ instituted is the proclamation to all ages of His death. Most surely our Lord... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - 1 Corinthians 11:20-34

EXPOSITION OF Matthew 26:26-30 ; and 1 Corinthians 11:20-34 . We will read, first, Matthew's account of the institution of the Lord's supper. Matthew 26:26-30 And as they were eating, In the middle of the Paschal Feast our Lord instituted the sacred festival which was ever afterwards to be known as "the Lord's supper." The one ordinance was made to melt gradually into the other: "as they were eating." 26. Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said,... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 11:1-34

Shall we turn in our Bibles now to I Corinthians 11 .Paul here in the first verse said,Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ ( 1 Corinthians 11:1 ).In the previous verse he spoke about how he was not seeking his own profit, his own glory, but the profit of the whole body of Christ. And then he said, "Be followers of me." The word followers in the Greek is mimetes, in which we get our word mimic. Be mimickers, or be imitators of me. Follow the example that I have set. That is, don't... read more
