This past Sunday we took communion together. I have been meditating on being the body of Christ and the passage in Luke 17, where Jesus shared his last Passover meal with His disciples. Verse 17 is an incredible verse giving us insight into the body of Jesus.
When Jesus was presenting the bread and wine to His friends, he said take and share this with one another. What a picture of Jesus being the bread of life and cup of redemption; and that we are members of Him and of one another.
I invited everyone to come and sit at a table prepared to accomodate all who were there. We share the scriptures and teaching at the table and then we shared the communion meal together. Each person shared the bread and wine with his neighbor together. It was a beautiful time and an awesome picture of the kind of relationship of oneness God desires for His Son’s body. The Spirit of God lingered long after we had dismissed everyone. Even out into the parking lot 2 hours later some were still enjoying fellowship with each other.
Makes you wonder about church and our practices. Do your religious practices produce the fruit the Spirit desires? If it doesn’t, then why do we do them?
Blessings to all of you that are a part of The Dwelling Place and those the Spirit is drawing into sweet fellowship. Have a great week.
