Summary

From the early days of the Christian faith, Christians were mocked for their unusual practice of connecting the eating of bread and wine with the body and blood of Jesus. At times they were even accused of cannibalism! And yet, two thousand years later nearly every Christian church continues this remarkable practice in some form. Why did Jesus institute this sacrament and what should it mean to us today? ------ We’re so glad you joined us for Ask Away. If you have a question that needs answering, we’d love to hear it.
