In the first century when Christians would come together as a church, a meal was a part of their gathering. And when the early Christians took the Lord’s Supper, often it came after they shared that meal together. Luke wrote in Acts 2:46, “And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts.” Jude 12 speaks about “love feasts” where the church was almost certainly partaking of the Lord’s Supper.
