Hebrews 9:24-28 For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered ONCE to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

Emphasis mine.....

Amen! Thank you. I don’t see why it is so difficult for people to recognize that the commemoration of the last supper has every bit as much importance to us as Christians observing Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection for us for all our sins and that we do NOT need to pretend what we eat and drink are mysteriously changed by an incantation. His communion/remembrance is to honor and meditate upon what he did for us, not to try to metaphysically place ourselves back there to live in the moment. It is also to remind us of the responsibility we have to each other in the entire body of Christ to honor and love as he would have us do.
