World Communion Sunday

Today is World Communion Sunday and around the globe Christians will gather at the Lord's Table to remember that we are one body in Christ. In the one cup and in the one loaf we see symbolized our oneness, even when we don't live it out. It is unfortunate that the Table is still a point of division. But may we recognize in it a source of unity.
As Paul has written to the Corinthian Church:

The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing 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 Cor. 10:16-17)
