Luke uses the Greek word "koinonia" to describe the breaking of bread in Acts. Koinonia translates into English as communion. As we take the elements of communion, we are reminded of two things. First, it reminds Christians that Christ's sacrifice means fellowship with the triune God has been restored. God invites us to commune with him! Second, it reminds us that Christ's sacrifice has created a new people united under God's good King--that's Jesus. Local churches share communion as a visible expression of a Christ-centered unity that isn't based on worldly associations like preferences, age, ethnicity or anything else. Our unity with one another testifies that we are united to Christ Jesus as Lord.
