Paul concludes this section around the Eucharist which for the church was more of a love-feast than partaking a small piece of bread and wine in a short section within the church service.
The love feast had become something it was never meant to be and perhaps at times the communion in our services have also.
“So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together. Anyone who is hungry should eat something at home, so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment. And when I come I will give further instructions.”
1 Corinthians 11:33-34
Church isn’t a place
- For people to be strangers. (But brothers and sisters)
- For individual worship. (Eat together)
- Where the primary reason for going is to have your needs met. (Eat before you come so that the focus is not on how much you can fill your stomach)
- Where the outcome is for judgment. (Let it not result in judgment).
