Jesus Took Bread; Jesus Took the Cup
(Jésus prit du pain; Jésus a pris la tasse.)
Mat 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
Mat 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
Mat 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Mat 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

If you don't know a whole situation, sometimes words expressed in a certain context might sound weird or crazy.
You cannot eat bread while believing it is made of a human body.
You cannot take wine while believing it is made of human blood.
So, hundreds or more of interpretations or readings have been tried, proposed, tested, or concocted while failing in pursue of truth but somehow succeeding in forcing people to pay respect to a church and a man of title, namely a religious performer on salary or pay, which Jesus Christ was not.

If you bring bread to Jesus Christ and He said to you that He would buy it with His body, you cannot be more deeply moved than by these words of His.
If you bring a cup wine to Jesus Christ and He said to you that He would buy it with His blood, you cannot be more deeply moved than by these words of His.
It is because you who must be poor should work hard, sacrificing the safety of your body and even bleeding due to an accident or an injury at a work place so demanding or dangerous, in order to earn money to buy bread and wine you are going to offer to Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
You would realize that Jesus Christ knows how hard it was for you to earn money to buy bread and wine, when you hear those words of Jesus Christ.
So, you must understand that Jesus Christ would sell His body and blood to earn money for buying bread and wine from you, just like you worked hard suffering pain and anguish on your body which sometimes bled.
That is also why He said to His disciples that the bread and the bottle of wine cost Him His body and blood (worth more than 9,999 trillion dollars if allowed to express so though with such a small number) to conquer or compensate all the sins associated with the society which has forced a single believer to buy them for Him with money earned so painfully.

Now, the noon is near on this Sunday morning in Japan.
I don't mind if you are in any Christian church now.
I only mind if you give money free to poor people when you get out of the church after the so-called mass.
It is because Jesus Christ has not requested any of us to pay with our body and blood instead of our money.
INDEED GREAT IS GOD THE CREATOR OF ALL!
TRULY JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD ALMIGHTY!!
