Introduction:<br />
What is <strong>the</strong> Sacrament <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Eucharist!<br />
It is <strong>the</strong> mystery <strong>of</strong> being united with God through <strong>the</strong> enlightenment <strong>of</strong> knowledge and<br />
reaching eternity.<br />
It is <strong>the</strong> mystery <strong>of</strong> worship and consecration through which <strong>the</strong> soul knows <strong>the</strong> Holy Trinity<br />
and loves Him, accepts Him and responds to His work.<br />
It is <strong>the</strong> mystery <strong>of</strong> thanksgiving through which we obtain <strong>the</strong> grace <strong>of</strong> Christ‘s life.<br />
Lesson Outline:<br />
Eucharist and Relationship with Passover, Salvation and Church<br />
The Sacrament <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Eucharist is <strong>the</strong> continuation <strong>of</strong> Christ work <strong>of</strong> sacrifice as He is present<br />
in <strong>the</strong> Eucharist. The Eucharist is an extension to <strong>the</strong> Cross work <strong>of</strong> salvation.<br />
The Eucharist Sacrament is <strong>the</strong> Sacrament <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> New Testament and in it <strong>the</strong> covenant<br />
between God and man is achieved as <strong>the</strong> Sacrifice <strong>of</strong> Christ is <strong>the</strong> faithful witness (Revelation<br />
1:5). Aso, He grants us heavenly relationship through it, a heavenly meal that grants us eternal<br />
life.<br />
The Eucharist is a symbol <strong>of</strong> real Pascha as Christ was <strong>of</strong>fered as <strong>the</strong> lamb <strong>of</strong> God<br />
(Corinthians 5:7). The mystery <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Pascha has been achieved in <strong>the</strong> Body <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lord that<br />
He gave us in His body and His Blood so that we may enjoy eternity. So <strong>the</strong> sacrament <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Eucharist allows us to enter <strong>the</strong> kingdom <strong>of</strong> God to meet Him face to face forever.<br />
The Eucharist is <strong>the</strong> church sacrifice, which Christ <strong>of</strong>fers with all love and obedience to God.<br />
The church goes into <strong>the</strong> altar (<strong>the</strong> Golgotha) and soars up to <strong>the</strong> highest heaven and does not<br />
know what to <strong>of</strong>fer except Christ.<br />
Through <strong>the</strong> Eucharist we become members <strong>of</strong> Christ‘s Body, filled in Christ and known to<br />
<strong>the</strong> Fa<strong>the</strong>r on <strong>the</strong> altar through His beloved Son.<br />
