Loaf
15 I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all share the one loaf. 1 Corinthians 10:15-17
What do you see when you look at a loaf of bread? Do you see something that gives you nourishment? What if the loaf of bread has mold on it, do you see the loaf as something disgusting and just toss it away? The symbolic partaking of the bread in this scripture shows how we honor the sacrifice Christ made for us, and according to this scripture when we do this we are part of a larger group because of what we share in Christ. If we are the body then what if someone we know has sin in their life? Do you throw them away like the moldy bread, or do you surround them with love and care. Since we all share one loaf, don't turn your back on those moldy people around you but work to build them up since they all share the same loaf.
Have a great weekend.
