"When you come together it is not the Lord's supper that you eat," 1 Corinthians 11:20.
Hmm. So we got together Sundays to remember Jesus' body and blood together. At any rate, that's what we thought we were doing. But it wasn't. What made it not the Lord's supper? Eating their own food without taking time to share. Some went hungry. Some got drunk. This showed they despised God's church. They humiliated the poor. Such profaned Jesus' body and blood. It became an existential problem - drinking and eating judgment to death. So. Now we examine our hearts and remember the whole body of Christ as we share with all. In this manner we eat the true Lord's supper. Together.
We meet a brother or sister today and we commune in Christ through sharing as there is need. And together we thank God for giving us Jesus as our share in eternal life.
