The pastor insisted that no one should approach the Lord's Table with unconfessed sin, and he had biblical justification for this position. The apostle Paul challenged a few churchgoers in 1 Corinthians 11 who needed to acknowledge their selfish, dividing attitudes and confess them as sin (vv. 18–21). Before joining in the joyful celebration of the total pardon Jesus obtained for us by His sacrificial death, he advised everyone to take a moment for thoughtful introspection.
The idea still holds true today. Before we partake of the Lord's Supper, we must recognise and confess everything that has stood between us and our Saviour. The pardon secured for us by the Savior's shed blood is then given new meaning by the bread and the cup.
Make sure your heart is pure before you eat at the Lord's table. Lord, do not allow me to boast save in the death of my God, Jesus Christ; all the vain things that I most enjoy are offered up to His blood.
