Communion

Do you ever question the things you've done the same forever? For the past year or so, I've been putting all of the "routine" things under a microscope. I've thought about the topic of communion a lot over this past year and I can't help but think that we've got it all wrong.
Do you think that on the "feast" of Passover, when Jesus was eating with His disciples, when he instituted what we call communion, He had in mind us eating a microbe of a cracker and drinking thimble of grape juice and then saying "Do this in remberance of me"?
I mean, what was Jesus saying to do in "rememberance"? The actually verse reads like this;
"And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you; do this in remeberance of Me." (Luke 22:19 NASB)

Do what? Was it breaking bread and passing it out? Was it eating bread? What?

I think that it was the whole event. Passover was a huge celebration that memorialized God saving the first born of every household that had the blood of the lamb on its' door posts. This was an event that pointed forward to the very night of the first "communion". Jesus was going to be the slain lamb so the God's judgement would pass over all of those who are covered by His blood. I think Jesus is saying celebrate this! Every time you have a meal with people, celebrate this! Everytime you have something to eat and drink, remember Jesus. I think Jesus wanted us to come together, to eat together, to truly commune with both Him and fellow man. I think the thing we do on Sunday's with the little cup and piece of cracker is kind of funny. I don't think it even remotely resembles Jesus' last meal. An intimate dinner with Christ and His closest friends is now portrayed by a bunch of virtual strangers nibbling on crackers and doing grape juice shooters (It's funny isn't it?).

I only write these things to encourage us to seek out true communion with God and one another. Everytime you eat or drink, remember Jesus and remember His sacrifice.
