Why Do Christians Eat FLESH & Drink BLOOD? | Communion Explained
One evening, Jesus is sitting down with his disciple and he says “Eat my flesh…and drink my blood. Do this to remember me.”
Now, as Christians, we generally just accept these words without much question. This is the basis for Holy Communion. And despite our denominational differences about what those words mean, we all agree on one thing: Jesus told us to do just that: eat his body and drink his blood…which, let’s be honest, is kinda weird isn’t it?
I mean, if you’re not a believe, that just sounds kind of strange. Early critics of Christianity heard these words and believed Christians were cannibals. And it’s not hard to see why.
But what if there is more to these words than we realize? What if there was meaning in these words that was obvious to Jesus’ JEWISH audience, but his hidden from most of us?
Well if you’d like to really understand what Jesus meant by these words, and what that original communion meal was REALLY all about, then join me for this episode of Beyond the Words.
