Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread. (1 Corinthians 10:14-17 ESV)
Participation - taking part. In our culture it seems almost a passive thing. But the word here is also translated fellowship, sharing, communion. What are we saying and doing when we share in the Lord's supper? When we do anything together as the people of God? We are sharing in Christ. What a compelling thought to cast down any idols in our lives or in our life as the people of God. Get ready to share.
