Peace in the body has everything to do with discerning the body; those who failed to discern the body in the first century forgot that they were united to Christ and also to one another; they had forgotten that the one loaf represented the one people of God. This is a danger for us; if we eat with divisive spirits we eat condemnation to ourselves. We must come to this table with pure hearts; hearts that long for peace and unity; that long for righteousness. At this table, Jesus is given for us; given as bread and wine; given as our head and provider. Let us come and delight and talk and enjoy our fellowship and unity in the spirit.
