Matthew Henry notes that our text begins with the words, "as often as you eat this bread and
drink the cup" , which he takes as a hint that the meal should be eaten frequently - "Our bodily
meals return often; we cannot maintain life and health without this. And it is fit that this spiritual
diet should be taken often too. The ancient churches celebrated this ordinance every Lords day,
if not every day when they assembled for worship." With such emblems before us, and such
themes to meditate upon and to celebrate, surely every true child of God will want to join their
brothers and sisters at the Table as often as possible to eat this meal and to "listen" to the sermon
it proclaims!
