Description
1 Corinthians 11:23β26 β’ The Lord's Supper isn't a ritual β it's a declaration. It stands between two emptinesses, and until He comes, it has no expiration date.
βͺ Preached at Pilgrim Baptist Church β’ Cookeville, TN β’ March 29, 2026.
The bread and cup of the Lord's Supper occupy a specific position in redemptive history. Looking back β an empty cross. Looking up β an empty sky. And the phrase "till he come" carries the full weight of the resurrection, because a dead Savior can't come back.
This message traces the Passover lamb from Exodus 12 to John 12 to 1 Corinthians 11, showing how the Jewish people on Nissan 10 inadvertently fulfilled Exodus 12:3 when they selected Jesus as their king β not knowing they were selecting a sacrificial lamb. Four days later, Nissan 14, the lamb was slain.
The ordinance we observe as New Testament Christians is the church's way of preaching a sermon without words β proclaiming the Lord's death, his resurrection, and his coming again every time we take the cup.
