Background: The “love feast” of the early church was held with the Lord's supper. (2 Peter 2:13; Jude 12) Believers brought food for sharing, the rich brought much, and the poor brought less. Unfortunately, such a meal became a time to distinguish between the rich and the poor. Paul was deeply troubled and strongly rebuked them. a. According to (11:23–26) what is the central significance of the Lord’s Supper? What were the causes of some receiving it unworthily? b. See (11:17–22 and 27–32). How can we make our reception of the Lord’s Supper more worthy?

背景：初期教会的“爱筵”和主的晚餐一同举行。 （彼后2:13；犹12）信徒各带食物来共享，富者多 带、贫者少带。然而这样的聚餐不幸沦为区分富 人与穷人社会地位的时机。保罗深受困扰，并强 力地加以纠正。 a. 根据23-26节，圣餐的中心意义是什么？有哪 些人是不配吃圣餐？什么原因？ b. 根据17-22和27-32节，我们应当如何预备自己 来领受圣餐？
