A Baptist pastor opened Leviticus 17:10 to disprove the Eucharist. God forbids eating blood. But verse 14 changes everything. The Hebrew dam, blood, carries the nephesh, life. Animal blood was forbidden because animal life is not yours to take. Christ's blood is commanded because his blood is eternal life. The prohibition was not against all blood forever. It was reserving the principle for its ultimate fulfilment.
The Passover lamb in Exodus 12 had to be eaten to complete the sacrifice. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 5:7 that Christ is our Passover. If the original Passover lamb had to be consumed, the true Passover lamb must also be consumed. In John 6;54, Jesus switches to the Greek word trogon, to gnaw, to chew, the most physically literal word for eating in the Greek language, never used metaphorically in ancient Greek literature. His disciples walk away. He does not call them back. He does not say he was speaking figuratively. The symbolic view was invented by Zwingli in 1524. For 1500 years, every Christian community, East and West, believed in the real presence.
