This is also done in Baptist and other Protestant denominations with crackers and grape juice if one is a member of the church. It is called the Lord’s Supper and is done in remembrance of the Lord’s sacrifice. But everyone understands it is symbolic, not anything to do with the physical or actual body of Christ.
It is not the way of receiving Jesus.....the only way to receive Jesus is by placing your trust in Him, repenting of sin, and being filled with the Holy Spirit. It is done one time and one time only and not over and over again thru the taking of bread and wine.
As a Southern Baptist, that's what I was going to say. Thanks. After a prayer for the Lords Supper, our pastor says,
"Remember" to signify the sacrifice Christ made for our sins.
That is what the Lords Supper, or communion, is all about. To remember that Christ died for our sins.
“That is what the Lords Supper, or communion, is all about. To remember that Christ died for our sins.”
Actually, most Christians do not know the symbolism behind the cup from which Christ told His disciples to drink anyway. Research the Jewish betrothal ritual. You will find the symbolic meaning behind the cup at the Last Supper in that.
