The Feast of Body and Blood of Jesus Christ The most precious gift that Jesus gave to his church is that which we celebrate today, the gift of his own body and blood in the form of bread and wine. "Eucharist, the Sacrament and sacri ce of the New Law in which Christ the Lord is Himself present, o ered, and received under the species of bread and wine. The name is from the account of the last Supper." The will of Jesus does not say a word about what Jesus taught. Its focus is on what Jesus did. He gave his body to his followers as food and his blood as drink. Remember, this was taking place in the context of the Passover meal. So Jesus was presenting himself as their Passover lamb. The Israelites in Egypt had to eat the esh of the Passover lamb to identify themselves as Gods own people. They marked their door posts with its blood as a sign to keep away the angel of death. Every Israelite was supposed to participate in this ritual every year to renew their identity as Gods people who enjoy Gods special blessings and protection. Seen in this light, the Eucharist becomes for us the place where we come to renew ourselves as Gods new people in Christ. Jesus invites us to the banquet. Does this in remembrance of me Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me (verses 24-25). This is the last thing Jesus asked us to do before he died. He asked to keep doing it as often as possible until his return in glory (verse 26). Why then is it that many of us take the Eucharist so lightly? We seem to be so ready to skip attending Mass at the slightest excuse: I just didnt feel like going We were on vacation I dont like Pastor Johns preaching, I seem to get more from the TV service. But no amount of television programming can take the place of Holy Communion. Let us today ask our Lord Jesus to increase our faith in the sacrament of his body and blood which he gives us in the form of bread and wine. Melchizedek, priest of God Most High, o ers bread and wine as a blessing upon Abram. Jesus ful lls this o ering, giving us his own Body and Blood under the forms of bread and wine. Thus is our hunger satis ed in abundance as we make our pilgrim way to the heavenly banquet feast.
