When we break the bread, aren’t we sharing in the body of Christ?Just as there is one loaf, so we who are many are one body. We all share the one loaf.Think about the people of Israel. Don’t those who eat the offerings share in the altar?

Instead, it will be Israel. You have wrestled with God and with people. And you have won.”Jacob said,“ Please tell me your name.” But he replied,“ Why do you want to know my name?” Then he blessed Jacob there.So Jacob named the place Peniel.
