Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me." — 1 Corinthians 11:25 (ASV)
That there should be no schism in the body;
That is, no division, no tear in the body.
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. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
"By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored,
We keep the memory adored,
And show the death of our dear Lord,
Until he comes!
And thus that dark betrayal-night,
With the last advent we unite;
By one blessed chain of loving rite,
Until he comes!"
