“Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?” I Cor 10:16 (NIV) “Participation” in this verse is the same word that is translated “fellowship” in other places. Thus, we have fellowship with the blood and body of Christ. Obviously, this is a mysterious experience but it is no less real because we don’t know the details. How encouraging is it that we fellowship intimately with Christ in the Lord’s Supper. In fact, this is an example of healthy biblical mysticism, not an escapist ecstatic mysticism that prioritizes experience over truth and love.

That may seem strange when we see the unholiness in our lives but the key is understanding the “already/not yet” theme in the New Testament. We are already holy, but not yet completely in heart and action. So we can say that we are holy now, for we are saints and we can recline in this truth, even though God is making us more and more pure.

The world, true life, victory over death, this present day and all future days belong to us.

“Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?” I Cor 3:16 (NIV). We are the dwelling place of God. He is with us and united with us. Thus, we can always live and make choices in that reality, whether we feel it or not. We walk by faith, not by sight.
