Subject: communion: symbolic or something more? |
Bible Note: Money in these forms is not merely a symbol. A symbol has no value. The check and other forms of money have value because they are authorized. There is a promise associated with it. It becomes effectually money. Money takes the form of the check. Just as God took on the form of a man. Jesus was 100 percent human. He was a man like any other man. He had blood and DNA etc... The bread and wine are still bread and wine. The sacrificial body and blood of Christ take on the form of bread and wine just as God took on the form of a man. It is, however, only in the context of Holy Communion that this occurs. All bread and wine are obviously not the body and blood of Christ. |
