The Passover, designed and decreed for all time by God Himself, comprised of three essential elements: sacrifice, feast and memorial (Exodus Ch 12). Thus, when Jesus Christ instituted the Eucharist - the New Passover - He said: "Take and eat (feast). This is my body which will be given for you (sacrifice); do this in memory of me (memorial)." - Matt 26:26, Luke 22:19 It is the gravest of heresies to contend that the Eucharist is not all three of these things. "Our paschal lamb, Christ, has been sacrificed." - 1 Cor 5: 7 It is a diabolical mockery of the greatest gift of God (the gift of His only beloved Son) to play at some "Lord's Supper" with mere crackers and grape juice in place of the most precious Body and Blood of Christ - man's "daily bread" - given for his sustenance, sanctification and salvation. It is only by consuming (and being subsumed into) this Bread of Life that man attains the truest "personal relationship" with Jesus Christ. No one, but no one, will enter heaven until he has attained this level of intimacy IN Christ. For the Father will contemplate nobody and nothing else, except His only begotten Son and those who are IN Him. Literally, not just metaphorically. Understandably then is the Eucharist the Source, Centre and Summit of the authentic Christian life.
