13. Why is it important to have the emblems passed to all in attendance?
13 It is important that everyone present at the Lord’s Evening Meal be reminded of the procedure instituted by Jesus. The actual passing of the bread and the wine from one to the other helps to deepen appreciation for the sacred things that have just been discussed that evening. It also enables each one to go on record as indicating what his hope of life is—heavenly or earthly.a Following the proper procedure brings the congregation into line with what is being done earth wide that evening.—1 Corinthians 14:40.
