1 Corinthians 11:33 CSB
“The Lord’s Supper marks off an entire group of Christians as one body, drawing a line between them and the world around them. And by drawing a line between the church and the world, baptism and the Lord’s Supper draw a line around the church. The ordinances make it possible to point to something and say ‘church’ rather than only pointing to many somethings and saying ‘Christians.’”
