At church groups all over the world, they gather to partake of The Lord's Supper, where they eat bits of cracker and drink grape juice (or in some church groups wine).
Do you really partake of the body and blood of Jesus by eating crackers and by drinking grape juice?
Is this really "The Lord's supper"?

John 6
30 They said therefore unto Him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but My Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.33 For the bread of God is He (The Word) which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
***
34 Then said they unto Him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I (The Word) am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst.
36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen Me, and believe not.
37 All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do Mine own will, but the will of Him that sent Me.
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent Me, that of all which He hath given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of Him that sent Me, that every one which seeth the Son (The Word) , and believeth on Him (The Word), may have everlasting life: and I (The Word) will raise him up at the last day.
***
41 The Jews then murmured at Him, because He said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that He saith, I came down from heaven?
***
43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44 No man can come to Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw him: and I (The Word) will raise him up at the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of (by) God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of (from) the Father, cometh unto Me (The Word).
(God will teach them. God will put HIS laws into their hearts and minds. Hebrews 8 & 10 ... Also God speaks to HIS people directly by HIS Spirit to teach them the way of God. Matthew 16:13-17, John 14:26 & John 16:13)
46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save He which is of God, He hath seen the Father.
***
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me (on The Word) hath everlasting life.
48 I (The Word) am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This (The Word) is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
***
51 I (The Word) am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread (The Word), he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us His flesh to eat?
***
53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you. (Eating and drinking the Word)
54 Whoso eateth My flesh (The Word), and drinketh My blood (The Word), hath eternal life; and I (The Word) will raise him up at the last day.
55 For My flesh (The Word) is meat indeed, and My blood (The Word) is drink indeed.
***
56 He that eateth My flesh (The Word), and drinketh My blood (The Word), dwelleth in Me (The Word), and I (The Word) in him.
(We eat HIS flesh and drink HIS blood when we consume the WORD, Jesus, and make The Word a part of us, abiding in the WORD...living in HIS Word, doing HIS Word.)
***
57 As the living Father hath sent Me (The Word), and I live by the Father: so he that eateth Me (The Word) , even he shall live by Me (The Word).
***
58 This (The Word) is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread (The Word) shall live for ever.

59 These things said He in the synagogue, as He taught in Capernaum.
60 Many therefore of His disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
61 When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples murmured at it, He said unto them, Doth this offend you? 62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where He was before?
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray Him.
65 And He said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto Me, except it were given unto him of My Father.
66 From that time many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him.
***
67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered Him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life. 69 And we believe and are sure that Thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
***
70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray Him, being one of the twelve.
***
(The Lord's supper is the eating and drinking of the Word of God and correctly living in that Word.)
If I believe "The Lord's Supper" is the eating and drinking of The Word of God, there is no way I can go to a church group and eat crackers and drink grape juice.
Crackers/grape juice has no power.
The Word of God has great power.

In 2018, a man told me of a church group he thought I would enjoy.
I thought on what that man said about this group and I decided to call and talk with the pastor. Perhaps I could gather with this group.
I found the phone number and called. They had a message on their answer phone telling of their services and the hours they met.
The recorded message began: Sunday: 9-10 a.m. / The Lord's supper.
I just hung up the phone.
There is no way I could go there while believing The Lord's Supper is the eating and drinking of the Word of God.
***
I gather with another church person by phone daily, often several times a day. We speak of things of God and also secular things. But I know from Bible (Matthew 18:20), where two or three are gathered in the name of the Lord, Jesus is in the midst of them.
We are the church.
John 4:23-24 Jesus says: But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him.
God is a Spirit: and they that worship HIM must worship HIM in spirit and in truth.
