People don’t come to Jesus in the Covenant feast, they don’t recognise the Lord at the breaking of the bread.
At Communion we do come to Jesus, because we believe it is Jesus Himself and we eat His flesh and drink His blood as He said.
“ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood, abides in me and I in him”
“ So he who eats me, will live because of me “
If people really believed, they would come to Jesus in the Eucharist and receive His Life in Covenant.
But in not believing, they do come to Him, do not eat and do not drink Life.
“ You search the scriptures think that in them you have life, scripture bears witness to me, yet you refuse to come to me that might live”
“But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible.”
Many are called but few are chosen.
Which Jesus explains, in John 6:35, ". . . Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. . . ."
And, in John 6:47-48, ". . . Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. I am that bread of life. . . ." Which you seem not understand because it means what it says and you do not believe it. And this has absolutely nothing to do with the Passover remembrance. Which is not presented in anywhere in John.
