Communion

Communion is an interesting thing in Christianity because it is something so simple, and yet it has a very powerful meaning. The Last Supper of Jesus Christ before he was crucified was simply a Passover Seder. As a Jewish man, Jesus was inclined to come to Jerusalem annually to celebrate the passover. But on this passover, Jesus knew what was coming next. He took the matzo and he broke it an he told them that this was his body and that it was broken for his people. Later, he took the wine and said that it was his blood of the new covenant with God the Father. Symbolically, this is amazing. The broken Matzo is a sign of his body being destroyed by man for the sins of men. And also the wine signifies the blood that he would shed throughout the time of his crucifixion and it was the blood necessary to establish the new covenant with God where man could finally be free from his overwhelming sins.
It is incredible how Jesus knew everything that would happen to him, and he accepted his burden because he knew what he was sent for. It is also interesting how Jesus told us to continue the communion to remember him. Unlike baptism, Communion is not just a one time thing. We are to do it always and remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for all of us his people.
