Bible Note: Hi Searcher, I would generally concur with your view of the exegesis here. I don't believe 1 Cor. 11:27 is implying that we ourselves must be worthy (Gr. axioi). It really has to do more with the manner in which we partake of the cup and the bread. Worthy is the Lamb, not the sheep! Yours In Christ, BradK |
