1 Corinthians 11:34

Hunger. This refers to ordinary physical desire for food, not to spiritual longing for the bread of life. The Lord’s Supper is not intended to be a time when men may satisfy their natural hunger. It is designed to be a memorial of the world’s greatest and most solemn event, and not a banquet. If all believers would follow carefully the instructions concerning the observance of the Lord’s Supper that are given in this chapter, it would be a service full of comfort and of elevating, holy joy.

The rest. Apparently there were other matters on which questions had been raised by the believers in Corinth, questions that Paul felt he could deal with better when he came. This statement shows that he planned to visit Corinth again, which he did, but not before he wrote another epistle (see pp. 102–104, 822).

This chapter stresses the need for exercising great care in all that is connected with the worship of God. Worshipers should approach Him with pure motives and consciences, and with minds intent on glorifying Him and receiving the blessing He waits to bestow (see Ps. 24:3–5; 29:2; 95:2, 3, 6; 100:4; John 4:23, 24).
