Does not the “cup of blessing,” which we bless, signify a fellowship with Christ’s [physical] blood? [Note: This was the cup used at the close of the Passover meal and was called this because of the prayer of thanksgiving offered for it. Paul refers to such a prayer in connection with its use in the Lord’s Supper]. Does not the bread which we break signify a fellowship with Christ’s [physical] body?
So, Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the physical body of the Son of man and drink His blood, you do not have [spiritual] life in yourselves [Note: The references to “body” and “blood” throughout this section probably allude to taking Jesus’ life and teaching into one’s heart. See verse 56].
