Are you worthy to take the Passover wine and unleavened bread this year? What does it mean to take the Passover “unworthily”? It is important that we understand what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 11:27 “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.” Now is the time to examine ourselves and prepare ourselves spiritually to take the Passover again this year.
