Unity

Unity – 1 Cor 10:17-18

Vs 17 – Paul then brings out the fact of unity.  Through one loaf though we are many are still one body for we all share the same loaf.  

Vs 18 – Paul continues with the thought of the last chapter when he encourages his reader to remember Israel.  When you eat the sacrifices from the altar you have also participated in what went on the altar.  You are willing participant.

Vs 19 – Paul asked the question, does the altar or sacrifice to an idol mean anything?  They do not.  Because idols in themselves are just stone and wood.  Meaning in the communion has to do with the fact that you are celebrating the Risen and living Lord.
