You and I know how it should be treated. But there are countless Protestant churches who do not treat it as anything other than a memorial to take part in every now and then. To many Protestant churches it is nothing more than crackers and grape juice. I'm sure it is that to some people on this thread. Sad though it may be.
Sad indeed. There are many denominations that are dying for this very reason...that they do not have the Spirit. I can only speak for myself, but Communion/The Eucharist is exactly what the Lord said it is. His Flesh and His Blood.
