What Really is the “Eucharist?”

The “Eucharist” is a religious term for describing one of the actions Jesus took during the last supper with His Twelve Apostles. It is meant to be done to follow Jesus’ example of sharing His sacrifice through the symbolic (Bread Unleavened, without sin) and wine (A mild form of alcohol mixed with water in those days) with only His twelve followers (Still Disciples), to show His Personal Sacrifice coming on the Cross of Crucifixion coming the next day. (Although, even they did not understand Him after three years of following Him). We Christians today, because of the writings since then can now understand what it really means. The Bread and Wine (Eucharist) act was of course symbolic. But it also represents, like Jesus washing of their feet, that we future Disciples of Christ should not only thank God for what He did through Jesus to save us forever; But also, we must, as humans, serve others too in like manner. Like Jesus did, to give Physical things to others less fortunate than we. The Greatest in the Kingdom of God shall be the servant of all. It is to humble ourselves to become great. When you [partake of the “Eucharist”, either yearly, Monthly, or weekly, do you forget that Jesus was making you to do it every day? How? By simply thanking Him for EVERY meal (And every other Blessing physically and spiritually) that He has given you today! There is a time (As Soloman said) to do it in a ceremonious way and take the “Eucharist”. But, it must be done only with other Believers and in The Holy Spirit in remembrance of Christ sacrifice to tell us to serve Him for others sake. We can, and must, every day thank our God in that way. We do not need to go to a special congregation (Unless, The Lord Commands you to) to remember His Sacrifice. Remember that even Jesus criticized the false religious practices and leaders of His day. I ask you to Pray about it. Then, let God direct you to when, where and how to observe it. Do not do it because I say or have my belief about this. I try myself to be follower and partaker of His Body and Blood daily. Do it because Jesus said to. P.S. Good instructions are given in the Holy Bible about this. Read John 13, John 15:16-17, Matthew 5:23-24; Matthew 7:12, and through Paul in 1 Cor. 11and 1 Cor. 8:12-15. Learn more by digging into the Bible on all matters of God. They are instructions from Him for Your welfare on earth and for all eternity. Blessings in His NAME.
