The loaf which we break, is it not a sharing in the body of the Christ? Because there is one loaf, we, although many, are one body, for we are all partaking of that one loaf. -1 Cor. 10: 16, 17, NW.
When a Christian is really devoted to God and eats of the Memorial bread, he is thereby confessing that he is 'sharing in the body of the Christ'; he is a member of it. Has he glorified or exalted himself publicly to membership in the spiritual body of Christ? No; but he has met God's requirements, and he recognizes that 'God has set' him in the body of Christ. This in itself rules out all the 'other sheep' from partaking of the Memorial emblems, as they are not members of Christ's body. They cannot partake and say: 'Because there is one loaf, we, although many, are one body,' that is, 'one body' with the members of Christ's body. The body of Christ was represented by the 'one loaf', and the members of that spiritual body 'are all partaking of that one loaf'. For that reason, there must be complete unity among them, for 'we, although many, are one body'. W 1/15
