THE TWO ASPECTS OF THE
BREAKING OF BREAD
The Remembrance of the Lord’s Supper
1. “Eat the Lord’s supper”; “This do... unto the remembrance of Me” (1 Cor. 11:20, 25).
Breaking bread has two significant aspects. The first aspect of eating the Lord’s supper is our remembrance of Him. In this aspect we remember the Lord by eating the bread and drinking the cup, we display His death, and we await His coming. This speaks of our relationship with the Lord. This aspect of bread breaking is emphasized in 1 Corinthians 11.
The Fellowship of the Table
1. “Partake of the Lord’s table”; “The fellowship of the blood of Christ... the fellowship of the body of Christ” (1 Cor. 10:21, 16).
The second aspect of bread breaking is to partake of the Lord’s table and to have fellowship with all the saints. When we partake of the Lord’s table together with all the saints, we receive the Lord’s body and blood, and through them we have fellowship. In this aspect the Lord’s body and blood become our enjoyment with all the saints, and they are our fellowship with all the saints. This speaks of our relationship with all the saints. This aspect of bread breaking is emphasized in 1 Corinthians 10.
When we break bread, we eat the Lord’s supper on the one hand, and we partake of the Lord’s table on the other hand. The Lord’s supper is our remembrance of the Lord; it is a matter between the Lord and us, and it speaks of the love between the Lord and us. The Lord’s table is our fellowship with all the saints; it is a matter between all the saints, and it speaks of our fellowship with all the saints.
