CHURCH:
UNITY; CHURCH: PRESENCE OF CHRIST

It is amazing that many people regard the Christian church as just another institution and the observance of Communion as just one of its periodic rituals. Any genuine, New Testament church actually is communion. It is not an institution. The Bible makes that plain.…

Blessed is the congregation that has found the spiritual maturity and understanding to honestly confess, “Our congregation is so keenly aware of the presence of Jesus in our midst that our entire fellowship is an unceasing communion!” What a joyful experience it is for us in this church age to be part of a congregation drawn together by the desire to know God’s presence, to sense His nearness.

John 17:20–24; 1 Corinthians 11:23–29; Colossians 1:3–4
