Matthew26: 26-28, “While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, ‘Take and eat; this IS >my body.’ Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them saying, ‘Drink from it, all of you for this IS >my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins.”
The appearance on the Road to Emmaus, (After the resurrection) Luke24:30&31 (in part), ‘He took bread said the blessing, broke it, and gave to them. >With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him.’ >>The Christian Church (Both Roman Catholic & Eastern Orthodox) have recognized The Host as being truly real for the last 2,000 years. ++We the millions of Christians through time & geography have experienced that the Eucharist is REAL & we recognize Jesus in it.
>>A separate comment about using the pejorative term ‘Cracker’ to describe Jesus. It is true that Jesus walked the Holy Lands speaking with a >southern Galilean accent. & Jesus had a Missouri attitude of: ‘Talk is cheap;> SHOW ME.’ ++ The ‘big thinkers’ in Jerusalem wondered> who is this ‘hick’ speaking with such authority; isn’t he the carpenter’s son. Also, Jesus Christ came to earth to free us from the clutches of the devil & the slavery of sin. Jesus then turns us into his own> ‘Bond-Servants.’
However with all that said, >I personally wouldn’t call Jesus a ‘cracker.’ The Grace of God has given EVERYONE the ability to recognize Jesus as being truly present in the EUCHARIST >even all of us ‘hicks & okies’ in all nations in this world.
I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
Shouldn't walking through a door that you worship as being the physical body of Christ be one of the sacraments? Is the physical door to your church Jesus?
I personally wouldn’t call Jesus a ‘cracker.’
Catholics do believe that Jesus comes to earth in the form of a cracker. I didn't call Jesus a cracker, I said he wasn't one.
