Thanks for the ping, Northern Yankee. I’ve always viewed Communion as a rememberance of Christ’s sacrifice. Christ gives his disciples the wine and bread as examples of his own body and blood that will be shed when he is crucified. By partaking in Communion, we are to remember the covenant that Christ had made with his followers....by believing he is the son of God, and was sacrificed for our sins, we can have eternal life.

Indeed. Jesus said: "Do this in remembrance of me."

I also remind my students that the first act Christ did after the Resurrection was to break bread with his disciples. (The walk to Emmaus...) It was then they recognized him for who he was.
