What dangers can come from administering the Lord's Supper?

Administering the Lord’s Supper (communion) or as Jesus calls it, Passover.  This is something that should not be taken casually in how we take it or how to handle the left overs that was blessed.  I covered a part of this in a prior DQ when I talked about Honey.  As was brought out in the lecture, this service is very important and I really believe many Christians do not take it seriously.  Paul tells us to examine ourselves and we are to realize that we are sinners and need this communion with our Lord before we take of the Passover. 

As Paul tells us, without mincing words, if we do not examine ourselves, we shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord and will eat and drink damnation to ourselves, not discerning the Lord's body and we will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.  What is the penalty, Paul tells us “for this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.” 

We all are unworthily to take of the Passover and when we realize this, then that is when we need to take the Passover, because we have examine ourselves and realize we are sinners against God.  We need to examine ourselves before taking of the Lord’s Supper.

 (1 Cor 11:23-30 KJV)  For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: {24} And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. {25} After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. {26} For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come. {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. {28} But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. {29} For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. {30} For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
