"Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ". v. 1
Wow, quite a statement by Paul. To be able to say that is something to strive for. Wow.
Most of the rest of the chapter is Paul giving instruction on Communion, on celebrating the Lord's supper. The Corinthian church had somehow dishonored and made a mockery of the remembrance. Before Christ, - the first covenant - the Jews sacrificed animals, symbolizing their blood for the covering of sins. Christ is the second covenant and He has shed the blood for the covering of our sins. Communion should never be taken lightly.
"Do this in remembrance of Me."..."But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup."
