Communion

May I bring that a point: when we are judged by the Word, which is Christ, we are chastened. If we are doing wrong, we are not living up to this Word, we are chastened of the Lord. And when the Lord chastens us, that means "corrects" us, that we should not be condemned with the world.
We are not of the world. We are different from the world, live a different life, a separated life. We're never to live the life of the world and be a Christian. We're to live a—a outstanding life, a different life. Not, I don't mean, in such social ranks, but I mean we are to live a life of genuine holiness that the fruits of the Spirit might be seen in us: of meekness; and gentleness; and patience; longsuffering; faith: the fruit of the Spirit.
