Day 30 • Question 81
81
Who
are
to
come
to
the
table
of
the
Lord?
Those
who
are
truly
displeased
with
themselves
because
of
their
sins
and
yet
trust
that
these
are
forgiven
them
and
that
their
remaining
weakness
is
covered
by
the
suffering
and
death
of
Christ,
and
who
also
desire
more
and
more
to
strengthen
their
faith
and
amend
their
life.
But
hypocrites
and
those
who
do
not
repent
eat
and
drink
judgment
upon
themselves.

Footnote 1
1 Corinthians 10:19-22
What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
1 Corinthians 11:26-32
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. 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. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died. But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged. But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world.
