The LORD our Passover

From here we will look at what Paul by way of revelation given him speaks of these matters here revealed by the voice of the ascended LORD, as he writes of them in 1Corinthians 11 beginning at verse 17 through the end of this chapter. But first look at chapter 5 and verse 7 picking up the flow at verse 6 through 11, where we have a warning not followed in our day because our Religious Institution's are full of leaven, 12-13, before returning to John 15;


“Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity (being tested by Sun Light and then being, ingeruous this being straightforward and frank) and truth. 
 

I wrote to you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must you needs go out of the world. But now I have written to you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 

For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not you judge them that are within? But them that are without God judges. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.”

Now for the rest of the story in 11:17-34 of 1Corinthians, where we have this;

“In this that I declare to you I praise you not, that you come together not for the better, but for the worse. For first of all, when you come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. When you come together therefore into one place, is this not to eat the Lord's supper? For in eating every one takes before his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. What? have you not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise you the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. 

For I have received of the LORD that which also I delivered to you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread: And when He had given thanks, He broke it, and said, Take, eat: this is My body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of Me. After the same manner also He took the cup, when He had supped, saying, This cup is the New (Covenant) Testament in My blood: this do, as often as you drink of it, in remembrance of Me. For as often as you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do show the Lord's death till He come.*

Wherefore whoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of both the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man first examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many there are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep (prematurely or remain in their state of separation from Him). For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

Wherefore, when we come together to eat, tarry one for another. And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that we come not together to condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.”
*We are to show the LORD's death and resurrection by our very conversation or way of living in the world but not taking part in the things of evil and wickedness of the world and its many sweet things. For if the day star  of 2Pet. 1:19, has arisen or if we have received His resurrection within our heart, as the day of Christ as found in Phil. 1:6, 19, 2:16 and 2Thes. 2:2, we are a totally a new person. We are no longer our own. He has become our LORD and our very Life. As we have taken His yoke upon ourselves to learn of Him as a branch of the tree into which His character is being restored and now He resides within us, by His Faith and GOD”s Faithfulness. This is in answer to His High Priestly prayer of John 17. Which is received by way of personal revelation of Him. Redemption opens (cracks the seeds shell of callousness) the door through which He in the person of the Spirit Holiness and Truth enters to begin the process of bring about a so great a salvation. The changing of our old dead nature and characteristics to His. For us now there is no longer a tolerance of the former ways of life in the blending of the gospels of man with that of God with the Gospel of Grace and Truth, nor is there worship apart from that of spirit and Truth. As we are now part and parcel in Christ and clothed with Christ. This is to say we are identified in His death, blood, resurrection and ascension because we in spirit are now seated with Him at the right hand of the Father (LORD), a respected place of authority and power clothed in His Holiness and Righteousness. We do all things in His name because we are clothed in Him like those of the wedding feast were in Mat. 22 as shown above.
