According to Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:17-34, the Lord’s Supper is several things all wrapped into one. It is first an opportunity to express the unity of the church (vv. 18-19, 33). It is therefore, second, a fellowship of God’s people (vv. 20-21, 33). Third, it is intended as a symbolic remembrance of Christ’s sinless life and atoning death on our behalf (vv. 24-25). Fourth, it is intended as a proclamation of Christ’s death, resurrection, and return (v. 26). And fifth, it is a built-in opportunity for self-examination (vv. 28-29) (Mark Dever and Paul Alexander).

The Lone Ranger and Tonto walked into a bar and sat down to drink a
sasparilla. After a few minutes, a big tall cowboy walked in and said "Who
owns the big white horse outside?" The Lone Ranger stood up, hitched his gun
belt, and said, "I do...Why?" The cowboy looked at the Lone Ranger and said, "I
just thought you'd like to know that your horse is about dead outside!"

The Lone Ranger and Tonto rushed outside and sure enough Silver was ready to die
from heat exhaustion. The Lone Ranger got the horse water and soon Silver
was starting to feel a little better. The Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and
said, "Tonto, I want you to run around Silver and see if you can create
enough of a breeze to make him start to feel better." Tonto said, "Sure,
Kemosabe" and took off running circles around Silver.

Not able to do anything else but wait, the Lone Ranger returned to the
bar to finish his drink. A few minutes later, another cowboy struts into
the bar and asks," Who owns that big white horse outside?" The Lone Ranger
stands again, and claims, "I do, what's wrong with him this time?" The cowboy
looks him in the eye and says,...

(I JUST LOVE THIS)

"Nothing, but you left your Injun running'."
