Communion
In the Bible, "Communion" generally refers to the intimate fellowship and participation among believers and with Christ, particularly in the context of the Lord's Supper or Eucharist. The term is derived from the Greek word "koinonia," which means fellowship, sharing, or partnership. This concept is encapsulated in 1 Corinthians 10:16-17, where the Apostle Paul explains that the cup of blessing we bless and the bread we break are a participation (or communion) in the body and blood of Christ. This emphasizes the unity of believers in Christ, as they share in the sacrificial nature of His death and resurrection.Moreover, Communion serves not only as a remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice (as seen in Luke 22:19-20) but also as a means of grace that fosters spiritual growth and community among the faithful. The act of sharing in Communion symbolizes the covenant relationship established by Jesus, reinforcing the idea that believers are collectively the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:27). Thus, Communion is a profound expression of spiritual unity, thanksgiving, and remembrance, inviting the church into a deeper relationship with God and one another.
