I won't preach about Communion per se very often. It's said out of love for one another, out of love especially for those brothers and sisters who are having a hard time adjusting to weekly dining at this Table. We say all sorts of things out of love for one another, most of them helpful and a only a few of them in need of correction. Beloved friends in Christ, I say with all gentleness and love, that's not so. That cannot be.
Arrogance divides the church.
Party strife divides the church. Swollen egos divide the church. All forms of sin divide the church, but the risen Christ does not divide the church. This is the Table of the risen Christ. He is the host.
