Charles Spurgeon Commentary 1 Corinthians 11:25-26

"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. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord`s death till he come." — 1 Corinthians 11:25-26 (ASV)

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 you, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you do shew the Lord’s death till he comes.

"Show" or "proclaim." The latter is the better word: "You do proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes." That last phrase ought finally to settle the question of the perpetuity of the Lord's Supper, which is to be observed "till He comes."

But that the members should have the same care one for another.

And whether one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or one member is honoured, all the members rejoice with it. I am afraid that this second half of the verse refers to a duty which is more neglected than the other. It is an easier thing to suffer with those who suffer than it is to rejoice with those who rejoice; and I will tell you why it is so: because, in giving compassion to those who suffer, you have some sense of dignity.

Condescension is often a sort of pride; but when a brother is better off than you are—when he has more talent than you have—when he is more successful than you are—for you to go and rejoice with him, and be as glad as if it were all your own gladness—yes, to enter into his joy, and say, "God be thanked, my brother, for your prosperity! I would increase it if I could, for I feel that I am a partner with you;"—ah! this needs great grace. So, may God give us more grace continually, and deliver us from everything like envy, which is of Satan, and yet is all too common even among professing Christians.
