1 Corinthians 11:23-25
For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on 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; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

Our Mindset
What should we set our Minds upon?
![Page 22: An Examination of How We Memorialize Christ REMEMBRANCE IN of ME](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062909/5a4d1b9c7f8b9ab0599c6149/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Proper Mindset• “a man must examine himself…”– 1 Cor 11:28
• Partake in a worthy manner• Preparation to be worthy –Mat 5:23-24, cf Lev 6

Proper
Why be so proper in our observance?
