Holy Communion

.
Firstly they were the disciples of Jesus and I look on myself as one of His disciples.

Jesus said where two or three are gathered together (not on our own) in my name there will I be in the midst.

He broke the bread which symbolises His broken body (we give thanks for the food we eat when we have a meal but we don’t renew our vows to Him.)

He said we were to do it in remembrance of Him.

The death and resurrection of Jesus is pivotal to our Christian faith for without His death on Calvary's Cross there would be no Victory and there would be nothing to celebrate.

When you said you “agree with some of the idea that it was NEVER meant to be a sacrament,” when it was the most important event in Christian history and was the whole reason for his being here, and then to imply that it doesn’t really matter fair took my breath away. Even a secular dictionary has this to say: “A sacrament denotes an oath or vow; the word has been applied by way of emphasis to the Lord's Supper, where the most sacred vows are renewed by the Christian in commemorating the death of his Redeemer.

People visit the grave of their loved ones, some every week and I think the least we can do is to remember our Saviour’s death and resurrection after all He did for us.
