How did God order the writing of the Lord's Supper account?
God ordered the writing so that Paul wrote the Lord's Supper account to the Corinthians before the Gospels were written. Since the Gospels did not yet exist, Paul could not refer back to Matthew or the other writers; he wrote the same words by revelation, making this likely the first chronological quotation of Jesus in Scripture.
Les teaches that the Lord's Supper is a constant reminder: every time we partake of the bread and the cup, it reminds us of the finished work of the cross. He explains that this is the first time it is explained. One commentator says this is probably the first time Jesus is quoted chronologically in the Scriptures, because the Gospels had not yet been written. So Paul could not delve back to Matthew or another writer and say this came by revelation. Les marvels that God does everything in His own order: before the Gospels were ever written, Paul writes the very same words to the Corinthians. Then in 1 Corinthians 11:26, the doctrinal reason is given: as often as you eat the bread and drink the cup, you show forth, or remind yourself of, the Lord's death. Les also points out there is no stipulation from the Apostle as to how often a church practices the Lord's Supper; whether every Sunday, once a year, quarterly, monthly, or however, that is not the issue. The Word is whenever you have the Lord's Supper, whether often or not as often.
