Communion: What It Really Is, and Why I Refrain

He put the covenant in His friends' hands. We built a priesthood around it.

I get invited to church often, and every time we do communion, I refrain. On purpose. This episode is why. Look hard at what we did with that cup. Yeshua put the new covenant in His own blood into the hands of His friends, and we turned it into a sacrament, administered on a schedule, from the front of a room, by a professional. But a covenant that is sealed cannot be re-sealed. There is nothing left to administer. The cup was never meant to found a priesthood. If anything, it dissolves the need for one. We took the very end of the priesthood and built a priesthood around it. Remembrance, zikaron, is a memorial among friends, not a re-sacrifice. Come test it with me, and then answer the only question that matters: are you going to be biblical, or not.
