What if when Jesus said, “This is My body,” he wasn’t referring to the bread, but the people. The disciples were to become the Church, The Body of Christ. Communion isn’t something that can be done alone. It’s in the definition of the word. Communion is done in community. They were being rebuked for not thinking of others, for not putting others first when they came together, saying even that they were being judged by God because of it. The point was loving each other. What if the point of communion is recognizing that we have been reconciled to God, making us One.

Unity
That we may be one. That was Jesus’ prayer for us. Don’t be quick to judge the spirit of someone who disagrees. Watch your own pride over your ‘right’ choices. Pride is a quicker way to destroy a group than a disagreement.
Unity
“Where two or three are gathered…” Church isn’t a group; it’s a union, a union with Christ, one mind, one body, one Spirit.
