Summary: A Communion for the New Year.

THE FELLOWSHIP OF PARTICIPATION.

1 Corinthians 10:16-21.

1. We have fellowship in the cup,

which is a sharing in the benefits of the blood of Christ

(1 Corinthians 10:16);

2. We have fellowship in the breaking of bread,

which represents His broken body

(1 Corinthians 10:16).

3. We who are members of His body are partners with the Lord

as we partake of the one bread

(1 Corinthians 10:17);

4. Like Israel of old,

we become active partners in the altar

(1 Corinthians 10:18).

5. Partaking of the Lord’s table

(1 Corinthians 10:21)

is set in contrast with having fellowship with demons

(1 Corinthians 10:20).
