1 Cor. 10:17 For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread
I am going through the book of 1 Cor. right now, and writing down a series of study notes for myself - what I believe the Holy Spirit is revealing to me.
I came across this passage, and I'm hoping for some input, so that I know I'm on the right track. I think I remember that someone was saying that in that particular culture, eating with someone was considered a sacred thing, because both people were eating from the same dish, and likewise, putting the same food into their bodies. The meal, in a sense, united them physically.
I don't remember where I heard this, but I'm hoping that someone could clarify if this is true or not. If so, it would shed some new light for me on the concept of everyone partaking of one bread....How the Lord unites them into one body, physically as well as spiritually, and how sacred that unity is.
Any input, or even correction, would be valued.
Thanks so much!!!!
