THE PERPETUATION OF THIS SYMBOLICAL MEAL
lb. No express command of the Lord is recorded in the Gospels,
although it is implied in the strong conviction of his authority.
John 13:31 Cor. 11:23 Paul implies the command of the Lord.
1 Cor. 11:2
2b. The practice of this ordinance by the apostles implies the express command, for they never instituted an ordinance.
Paul - 1 Cor. 5:7; 11:17-34; cf. 1 Cor. 11:2 "ordinances" or "traditions".
Peter - 2 Peter 2:13
Jude - Jude 12
3b. The express command of the apostles not only implies the command, but also points directly to it.
1 Cor. 5:7
1 Cor. 11:33-34
4b. The abuses of the supper were denounced and the proper observance was enjoined, by Paul.
1 Cor. 11:17-34
5b. The early church carried on this meal and history clearly records the fact.
