The Lord's supper is a symbol of the past; what's happening now and what he is doing in our future. God dearly loves you to spend time with Him.  He doesn't want us to spend time with Him.  Parents and Grandparents love to get to know their children. Luke 22:19 When we participate in the Lord's supper we each eat a small piece of bread. Luke 22:20 Whenwe drink a small amount of wine (or grape juice) it represents the bloof of Jesus Christ. OT - blood only covers sin. NT - blood washes away sin. Hebrews 9 God calls us to be a people of greatness in this world.  The bigger picture is that the death of Jesus Christ on the cross provides a way for the  remission of our sins. The death of Jesus Christ is a tremendous gift to us.   It is so precious.  When God gives us a gift and we don't use it; it hurts him.  He wants us to receive the gift of Jesus Christ's death on the cross. The communion meal is a memorial of Jesus' death but it is not a funeral.
