Communion is not Passover

In almost all churches there is some form of celebration involving bread and wine. Many eat and drink not understanding its importance. If all we have to do is believe, then why should we do it? People have come to keep it as a tradition that they call communion which can be kept at anytime. The bread and wine Christ gave as his body and blood was only on one night, the Passover. (Matthew 26:17-19; Matthew 26:26-28). The Passover has an appointed time, the first month on the fourteenth day at twilight. (Leviticus 23:5).We can not celebrate the body and blood of Christ whenever we please, because there is no promise of eternal life without Christ’s word. Communion has no promise of eternal life, only the Passover of the New Covenant has the promise. Jesus broke bread giving thanks many times, but he did not say that it was his flesh every time he broke it. In the book of John we can clearly see this fact. (John 6:11). Christ gave thanks for bread that he gave to the five thousand. What did Christ say concerning this bread? (John 6:27). What is the food that does not spoil? (John 6:48-58). We can not think of these words physically like the people at that time (John 6:66), nor can we think of these words figuratively like the people do today. When we look at these words of God spiritually we come to see that it is only through the Passover that we can receive eternal life according to the promise of Christ.
