In this Address #3b of 4 meetings, John Brereton explains the spiritual truth that all believers in Christ are united into one body, the body of Christ, through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit—a work that began at Pentecost. 1 Corinthians 12 shows that while believers may come from diverse backgrounds (Jews, Gentiles, bond, or free), they are baptized by the Spirit into one body, forming a living connection not only with each other but also with Christ, the Head in heaven. This unity is symbolized and expressed practically through the partaking of the one loaf at the Lord’s Table, representing the one body. 

John emphasizes that while human failures and divisions exist outwardly, the spiritual reality of the one body remains intact, and believers are encouraged to endeavor to maintain the unity of the Spirit in love and peace.
