The thing to understand is that in the ancient world, in rituals of agreement between two parties, in the sacrifices of animals made in the binding ritual, the animals would be cut in half, the two parties making the promises passing between the halves as if to say, “If I break my word, this is what will be done to me — I will be killed and cut in two.” From this came the wording, “to cut a covenant.”
So when the bread is broken in the Eucharist, the body of Christ, the Passover sacrifice, “this is my body broken for you,” that is God, giving himself as a sacrifice for the promised covenant, that he will indeed take you back in eternal grace and everlasting life. That is the promise he is making to you every time the bread is broken, every time the blood is poured out as wine. It is all about a promise, an agreement he is offering to us. To be sacrificed, over and over again, as this offering of eternal life.
This is what continues to stun me about Christianity. It is complex and layered in ways “Jesus saves!” hardly conveys, in ancient practices so foreign to our modern world they almost seem savage. Yet to this day something about it continues to get to people. Something about holding up a piece of bread and breaking it in two resonates somehow and makes us say “Yes,” and come forward to participate in that offer from God. And something about that changes people’s lives.
It is a great mystery, far beyond all that has ever been done in its name, good or bad.
