The requirement of Christ, to eat symbolically of his “flesh” and his “blood”, is to all faithful Christians, to eat “unleavened bread”, representing his “flesh” and to drink from the cup, representing his “blood”: “I am the bread of life. Your forefathers ate the manna in the wilderness and yet they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread he will live forever; and for a fact, the bread that I will give is my flesh in behalf of the life of the world.” Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying: “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” So Jesus said to them: “Most truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life, and I will resurrect him on the last day; for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I in union with him. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. It is not as when your forefathers ate and yet died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever” (John 6:48–58) (CHRIST THE ONLY PATH ; CHRIST THE MEMORIAL).
- Therefore, all faithful Christians, whatever their hope, heavenly or earthly, are required to eat part of the “unleavened bread” and to drink part of the cup from the commemoration of the death of Christ, it is a commandment: “So Jesus said to them: “Most truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves. (…) Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will live because of me” (John 6: 53,57 ).
