The funny thing about Communion is that Jesus’ instructions were pretty clear and simple. My wife and I partake at home. It’s a very simple kinetic symbol of the foundational support of all of Christianity

WOW, protestants have it easy...I have to get my butt out of bed and actually drive a few miles to church to attend Mass and receive the Body and Blood of Jesus as He told us to do.....Who knew that I could do it myself in my own kitchen....thanks for the deep religious insight!!!

I don’t know about protestants, but I have it pretty easy, thanks be to Jesus. And I follow his instructions, which say nothing of going to a church building to do it. I do partake in church, but as He said, “as often as you do this, do it in remembrance of me.

We do it more often at home than our church does it.

Matthew 11:28-30 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Ephesians 3:14-19 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Romans 8:10-11 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

Colossians 1:24-27 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church, of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Jesus is not found in a church or wafer. Nobody has to go somewhere to encounter Him>

Jesus Christ dwells in the heart of the believer through faith, not the stomach by eating Him.

How many Heavenly points do you figure you score each time you do it? And you seem bitter about it. Is it an obligation and not a desire for you?
