Communion for the Broken — 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
You watch the bread pass from hand to hand and wonder if you belong there. But Jesus set this table on the night everything fell apart, for the ones who would fail him most. Your fractures don't disqualify you. They're exactly who this meal was made for.
When You Feel Too Broken for the Table
You watch the bread pass from hand to hand. The cup follows. Everyone else seems to belong here, their heads bowed in quiet reverence while yours swims with questions. Are you too damaged for this? Too doubting? The gap between their apparent holiness and your hidden fractures feels insurmountable.
Maybe you're here after years away. Maybe you never left but feel like you should. The invitation hangs in the air, but you wonder if it's really meant for someone like you.
