The bread and the cup are not symbols of something distant. They are a table set by someone who is present.
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
"For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, 'This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.' In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood.' ...For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes."
Which part of what Jesus said at the table speaks most to you right now?
