“Wherefore let us keep the feast . . . with the unleavened
bread of sincerity and truth.” 1 Corinthians 5:8
The breaking of the bread has two meanings in Scripture:
one is to remember the Lord and the other is to express fellowship with all the
children of God. It is literally impossible for me to give the right hand of
fellowship to every one of God’s children here on earth. Yet on the Lord’s Day
his people touch symbolically the same bread, as they break it in his name here
and therefore throughout all the earth.
Wherever they may be, they touch by faith the same living
Bread as I. So in this way I relate by touch with all the true children of Cod.
Here I meet all my brothers and sisters, as well as my Lord. I not only have
fellowship with those who share the bread with me in my local meeting, but also
with all whose hands are outstretched to touch the same Bread of life
throughout the world. We, though so many and so different, are yet one loaf in
Christ.
