The second revelation that Paul received was closely connected with the first. In addition to this truth that the church is a heavenly institution joined to the glorified Head by the indwelling Spirit of God, there was also committed to Paul the full doctrinal significance of what we commonly speak of as the Lord’s supper. In the religious world around us it is spoken of as the communion service. In the Word of God we find it brought before us in 1 Corinthians 10-11 as the great central ordinance to express through all the church’s history the truth of Christ’s death for us. Now, to Paul was committed the bringing out in connection with the remembrance of the Lord the additional significance of the one loaf. “Because we, being many, are one loaf, one body; for we all partake of that one loaf ” (1 Cor. 10:17 JND). Thus is the unity of the body of Christ (the church) brought before us.
