God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

According to Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:17-34, the Lord’s Supper is several things all wrapped into one. It is first an opportunity to express the unity of the church (vv. 18-19, 33). It is therefore, second, a fellowship of God’s people (vv. 20-21, 33). Third, it is intended as a symbolic remembrance of Christ’s sinless life and atoning death on our behalf (vv. 24-25). Fourth, it is intended as a proclamation of Christ’s death, resurrection, and return (v. 26). And fifth, it is a built-in opportunity for self-examination (vv. 28-29) (Mark Dever and Paul Alexander).

The word 'fellowship' in the New Testament (as in Acts 2:42) is a translation of the Greek word 'koinonia.' At its root 'koinonia' describes two or more people in close association and often speaks of these people as sharing in something, such as a marriage or business. Christian 'koinonia' exists between everyone who knows God through Jesus Christ (see 1 John 1:3). Everyone united with Christ by faith is also united with everyone else united with Christ. The same Holy Spirit indwells all believers and gives each a common share in the body of Christ, the church. As the apostle Paul put it, 'For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body...and all have been made to drink into one Spirit' (1 Corinthians 12:13).
