When you come together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat. For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal. One goes hungry, another gets drunk. What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not. (1 Corinthians 11:20-22 ESV)
Whent the Corinthian Christians gathered together for the celebration of the Lord's supper and love feast, it was not quite like Christ had planned. Rather than being a time of rich fellowship in Him, it was often a time of selfishness, comparision and gluttony. Breaking bread, be it around a meal or His table, should always be a time of solemn thanksgiving and loving celebration.
