The Lord's Supper - We are the Temple
from NoDa Church · host Ryan Russell
When we gather together in the presence of Christ, the church becomes one in Christ. The imagery is an assembly of God’s Temple where God’s presence is known in Christ. When we receive the bread and cup, we participate in Christ and are continually transformed into his dwelling place. In keeping with the church being the new Temple where God dwells, I imagine the Lord’s Table as the Holy of Holies where we receive God’s presence to make us his Temple on the move. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, 1 Corinthians 10:14-17, Ephesians 2:13-22 Questions for reflection: How would the Lord’s Supper be different if you focused on communal transformation rather than your individual transformation? How would Sundays be different if we believed Christ was hosting our gathering? What makes you resistant to the belief that Christ is present at the Table?
