Jesus also said, “I am the Door” (now He’s wood and hinges). John said, “Look! the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (now He has wool and goes “baa”).
It’s clearly figurative language - the bread/body, the wine/blood, the door, the lamb, the spring of living water, etc.
If Jesus literally meant His actual flesh and blood, we would be practicing cannibalism in Holy Communion. At the Last Supper, the Passover Lamb, the wine, the unleavened bread are all symbols, a picture of what God was about to do in the death of His Son as the sacrificial lamb without spot or blemish Who would take in Himself the sin of the world.
Funny, that's exactly what the pagans accused the Christians of doing, 1200 years before your reformation. Where do you suppose they got that idea?
But you and they are both wrong, because cannibalism is killing someone in order to eat his dead body. Jesus isn't dead. "Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life within you."
Thank you Jesus, for replacing the empty symbols of the old covenant with the "Living Bread come down from heaven" of the New.
