Communion Into Community
What if communion and community are not two separate religious activities, but two sides of the same coin? Hebrews 10 draws a striking line between the blood of Christ and the body of Christ, revealing that one always leads to the other. When we gather around the table, we are not just remembering a sacrifice -- we are being reminded that the sacrifice created a family. We were saved out of something, yes, but we were also saved into something: a kingdom, a people, a body. Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 12 press this point home, reminding us that we are individually members of a body that only functions when all its parts are present and engaged. That realization changes the way we think about showing up for one another. It is not optional. It is not an add-on to personal faith. It is part of what it means to belong to Christ.
