How Baptists and Catholics Live Out What They Celebrate in Church

In this part of the essay I am going to show how members of the

Baptist and Catholic Churches try to live out what they have

celebrated in Church. The actual meaning of the word Eucharist is

‘thanksgiving’, when Christians of all denominations gather together

to ay thank to you God for all he has done for us, much like the

American feast of thanksgiving, the Eucharist is a time of community,

unity and solidarity, as by sharing the bread and wine together as a

family, we are symbolizing that we are sons and daughters of God.

In this part of the question I will use quotations from the scriptures

to explain how we as Christians should live out our lives outside of

church. Firstly in John’s Gospel Jesus says ‘I have a new commandment

to give you, Love one-another as I have loved you. A man can show no

greater love than to lay down his life for his friends’. This is a

very powerful and important quotation, because it pretty much sums up

how we should live our lives, in general it tells us that we must love

one-another as Jesus loved us, so we must care about our friends as

well as our enemies, it also tell us that the greatest love we can

show is to lay down our lives for our friends, I believe that there is

a literal and non-literal meaning to this, literal because if anyone

was about to be knocked down by a car then it is the duty of any good

Christian, as it is such a pure unselfish thing to take your life in

order to save another’s, however it can mean that we must spend time

in our lives dedicated to our friends, we should aid them, help the

through times of difficulty and strife, laying down our lives can in

fact be just simple things like giving up some of my leisure time in
