사람다움을 추구하는 예식으로서의 ‘성찬’ 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to pursue the cultivation of character and the restoration of Saramdaum through the Holy Communion service in Christianity. The purpose of the Holy Communion is to remember Jesus Christ by sharing bread and wine, which are symbols of the body and blood of Jesus Christ, and to strengthen the sense of belonging and responsibility as Christians who have been saved through faith in Jesus Christ. As the covid-19 virus continued, Christianity, especially Protestantism, was at the center of the spread of the epidemic. In the name of protecting their religious events, they failed to comply with the quarantine system, resulting in a large number of confirmed cases, receiving social criticism, and causing problems. In order to overcome such selfishness and mistakes, those who belong to the church must restore their Saramdaum. Rather than placing importance on the afterlife and neglecting or ignoring the present life, one must hope for the afterlife, but must cultivate the character and Saramdaum that a human should have in this life, and take on the responsibilities and duties that must be maintained as a religious person. So, “How can we seek restoration as a human being and as a true Christian?” This paper examines the Christian ritual of ‘the Eucharist’ and explores its meaning from various angles. The Eucharist has various implications, but Christian tradition and heritage have been limited to the meaning of ‘sacrifice.’ This is the ‘transubstantiation theory’ that originates from the Catholic perspective that identifies the church and the body of Christ. Afterwards, Protestant reformers such as Luther, Calvin, and Wesley, who emerged while reforming Catholicism, argued for various concepts and meanings of the Eucharist that replaced the theory of transubstantiation This study explores the various meanings of the Holy Communion in Protestantism, extracts the implications of the Holy Communion in pursuit of Saramdaum, and seeks to restore Christianity, which is losing social credibility. The expected effect of the Holy Communion service, which pursues Saramdaum, is to remember Jesus Christ, the one God and savior, as well as to explore and embody the life of Jesus Christ, who was incarnated as a human in the world. Therefore, we suggest that we frequently celebrate and participate in the Eucharist and cultivate and practice the meaning of character and Saramdaum through love, sacrifice, and fellowship within the community.
