Church Supper
how is the lords supper affect the church ?
I would like to know how variouse church deal with the meaning
In the Catholic Church, it is the high point of Church, the Eucharist is the main event so to speak. We believe that when the priests says the words of consecration, the bread and wine cease to be, and become the real Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ, under the appearance of bread and wine.
“‘Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.’ The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, ‘How can this man give us his flesh to eat?’ So Jesus said to them, ‘Truly truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed’” (John 6:47-55).
If you see the word that St. John used for eat, trogon, it means to chew or to gnaw, which cannot be taken as anything but literal. Also, when his followers said this was hard and left, he did not make himself clear, he did not say, “Well, its just a symbol” he kept saying, eat my flesh and drink my blood. He does not clarify like he does elsewhere.
“For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, ‘This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant of my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.’ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes” (1 Cor. 11:23-26).
Here St. Paul is reminding us the importance of receieving the true Body and Blood of Christ.
“Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord” (1 Cor. 11:27).
If it were just bread and wine, why would it be guilty of profaning the Body and Blood of Christ? It wouldnt. But because it really is his Body and Blood, you must be in a state of grace, with no mortal sins on your soul in order to partake in the Eucharist.
