Christ is also the living "Bread": "I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world." Jn 6:51
“Yet, man “does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” and I don’t think Christ was contradicting himself when he called him self “living bread”. Christ gave his body once, we take the bread and cup in remembrance of that fact. But the word of God pours forth continuously via the Holy Spirit that resides in every believer’s heart. By repentance and confession of faith do we eat of that “living bread that came down from heaven”; Christ gave his body once, by conversion, we eat of his body once ....the periodic taking of the cup and bread is in remembrance of that fact. Christ is also known as the “word made flesh”, and it is the Spirit of God that writes this “word” in our inward parts and continuously renews our inner man daily, not a “consecrated” wafer and cup!!!
I won’t argue over ‘living presence’ or ‘transubstantiation” with you, other than what I’ve just said.
