With the exception of the last two paragraphs printed below, this discourse has been republished in Pastor Russell's Sermons, pages 557-564, entitled "Passover in Type and in Antitype."

The apostle Paul points out these items to which we have called attention. He says that the Lord's consecrated followers are counted as members of the Body of Christ, the Church, under Jesus the Head. He indicates that the broken loaf represents primarily our Lord Jesus, who was broken for us, and that secondarily it represents the Church of Christ, those who willingly and joyfully yield themselves for the sake of the Lord's cause. He also points out that the cup of Christ's blood, of which we are invited to partake, signifies to us a common union in the sufferings and afflictions of Christ.

Therefore, whoever intelligently partakes of the Memorial Supper thereby indicates two things: (1) His faith in Jesus as the Passover Lamb, and his appreciation and participation in the merit of Jesus his justification by faith; and (2) his membership in the Body of Christ, all the members of which agree to be broken membership in that "little flock" whose faithfulness is manifested by drinking of the Master's cup sharing with Him in His sacrifice, suffering with Him in order to reign with Him. 1 Cor. 10:16-17; 2 Tim. 2:11-12.
