To take the emblems of Christ's sufferings and sacrifice is the highest honour which a man or woman could have. To partake of them with improper attention to what they represent is nigh on blasphemy, seeing that "as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death...Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord" (1 Cor. 11:26,27).
Kuchukua vitu ambavyo ni mfano wa mateso ya Kristo na dhabihu ni heshima ya juu zaidi ambayo mwanamme au mwanamke aweza kuwa nayo. Kuvishiriki isivyostahili kwa namna inavyoonyesha ni sawa na kukufuru, kwa "maana kila mlapo mkate huu na kukinywea kikombe mwaitangaza mauti ya Bwana….. kila aulaye mkate huo, au kukinywea kikombe hicho cha Bwana isivyostahili, atakuwa amejipatia hatia ya mwili na damu ya Bwana" (! Kor 11:26,27).
