It's always been easy to recognize the significance of the cup that represents Jesus' blood. The Bible is clear that through the shedding of Jesus' blood we have forgiveness. But I did not understand the importance of the body. Yet, now I do not think we are called to remember His physical body, but the body that is the church. When I eat of the bread I acknowledge my part in the body of Christ and my place in the kingdom of God, just as in taking the cup I acknowledge that Christ has forgiven my sins.
