At this table, our Lord gives and we take. You are reminded of this every week, “Take, eat, this is my body which is broken for you.” The Lord wants you to take here. He commands you to take. But to take is one thing and to grab is another. You should not grab at this table, as the Corinthians were doing with one grabbing and eating while another went hungry, one getting drunk while another got no wine. 

But notice what is prohibited and and what is not. Ambition is not prohibited. Selfishness is. The selfish do not remember the people around them and they do not remember God. And the only solution for the selfishness that remains in us is to learn to take in the right way. And our Lord has told us the way: “Take, eat, this is my body which is broken for you. This do in remembrance of me.” So come in faith and welcome to Jesus Christ.
