The Lord's supper is all about Jesus.

We are to remember Jesus' bloody death on the cross:

I Corinthians 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

  25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

We do this to remember Jesus' death on the cross.

I Corinthians 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.

When we first came to the cross, by faith, we examined ourselves.

We had a "change of mind" about ourselves, we realized that we were nothing but sinners,

and that Jesus died on the cross to take away our sins, so that we could fellowship with him forever. 

At the Lord's supper, we remembrance the cross again.

We remember who he really is, and that his death on the cross is for our sins.

We need to remember Jesus and his cross, because it is all about him.

However, how often do we make it all about us?

And instead of remembering his cross, his death, we are remembering our sins, our behavior.

Instead of remembering how worthy he is, we focus on whether we consider ourselves "worthy enough" to partake.

We unconsciously change an adverb into an adjective:

I Corinthians 11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

We change the adverb, unworthily, describing how, into an adjective, unworthy, describing us.

That's how we make it all about us, instead of about Jesus.

However, when we first came to the cross, we examined ourselves, but not to determine if we were worthy of the cross,

rather to realize our utter unworthiness, and that he is worthy, he is the Savior, we're not.

But then when we remember the cross at the Lord's supper, we think that we now have to examine ourselves in order

to see if we consider ourselves worthy enough.

The cross, and the remembrance of the cross, is not about our worthiness.

Someone truly worthy would not need the mercy and grace of the Savior.

When someone first comes to the cross, what if they stop, and say to themselves that they are not worthy?

That they think that they first need to do something, or not do something, before they can come to the cross?

They would make it all about them, and not all about Jesus.

So, why when we remember the cross, at the Lord's supper, we do exactly that?

When we let the plate pass by, do we figure that we are not worthy enough at that time?

Is that not actually blasphemy?

The time to remember the cross is when we realize that we still sin.

And certainly not when we think that we are in some sort of catholic "state of grace".

Taking the Lord's supper when we think that we are worthy enough,

that would be partaking unworthily as much as partaking before we are even saved,

or as unworthily as turning the Lord's supper into some kind of party like happened at Corinth.

Do we think that if we have some extended period of remorse and abstinence,

that we can somehow make ourselves worthy enough to partake the next time?

That also is blasphemy, and betrays that we don't really understand the cross in the first place.

Anyway, if, when we examine ourselves, and we realize our sin, we should be like when we first came to the cross,

we need to acknowledge our sin, and by grace through faith, we turn to Jesus, who died in our place.

I John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

We don't get "saved again", but rather our fellowship with Jesus is restored.

However, we are reconciled by the Savior, and not by some penance of ours, i.e. doing or not doing something.

And like when we first came to the cross, when we had that change of mind repentance,

we immediately turned to Jesus, not after some probationary trial period, but immediately were saved.

So, even when we are in a Lord's supper service, and realize our sin, and again have that change of mind repentance,

we again immediately turn to Jesus, again not after some probationary trial period,

and partake of the Lord's supper, thereby remembering the Savior's death on the cross for our sins,

and thus worshipping him for his worthiness, mercy and grace.
