Hi
One of the things I expect from a real story is I expect it to be self-similar. We could see it in La La land when **spoiler alert if you haven't seen the masterpiece** at the end it reflects back to the story and looks into the possibilities in a very short amount of time, the Epilogue.
What I want to get to is understanding a major point in the story of Christ. In the epilogue of his story, when they gather to have the last supper, he tells them how the bread is his body and the wine is his blood. It is always hard to find the meanings behind words like this and I can make my own meaning jumper.
I see Christ as a person who devoted his life to doing what he thought was right. I don't know if there is anyone who thinks something is wrong and do it. Everyone thinks they are right but in his case, he was fighting demons and he was purifying himself from what he could see as evil and sins. By being a present critic who is living based on what his mindset was in society, he was taking the negativity out of the mass of the people he was interacting with. That does not necessarily mean he was good by any rules, he would do things that would seem unacceptable to the righteous people of his time.
By doing things that would question the authorities and also criticize them and wake them up out of their own self. Some kind of personal connection that would snap and hit back at whoever is not even with themselves.
For example, in one case, he helped a prostitute from being stoned by the priests of the town, addressing the fact that not even the most surficial things can be judged easily and also asking the priests a personal question: who has never done a sin in their life to torture someone for a so-called sin.
These kinds of personal attacks do not address someone's professional position but hit them directly in the heart and there is no escape from them. They can only be covered partly and it takes energy to put the judging self-criticizing mask off after hearing them. This kind of bitter attitude was what took him to the calvary in the end.
For me, the body and blood mean he thought of himself as a character whose whole physical being and his energy are devoted to the people who want to have a take on him. Dealing with demons means interacting with people and letting them bring him in the position of making decisions that seem to be questionable in order to fix a wrong behavior. His act would be a source of learning for the ones who want to learn and his time would be a treasure he had and could split with others.
The meaning jumper of this part of his story for me is the body and blood or bread and wine are one of the self-similar aspects of his story that are representing his conscious presence among people. To be the source and give all to what is right to you.
