Communion & the body!


Bread
For as in one body we have many members,[a] and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one to another.
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ & His church? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one Spirit with him. Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of that one bread.

As one body we join together to remember the Lord & the breaking of this bread, in remembrance of his body broken for our sin. Take this in ‘memberence of Him.

 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves[d] or free, rich or poor —and all were made to drink of one Spirit.
14 For the body does not consist of one member but of many. 15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I must not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? 18 But as it is, God arranged the members in the church, each one of them, as he chose. 19 If all were a single member, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts,[e] yet one body.
But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked honor, 25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26 If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.
27 Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. As one body we again remember the blood of Christ spilled for us, for the forgiveness of sin, take this in ‘memberence of Him.
