Academic Opinions Two important Church Fathers, Ignatius of Antioch and Origin, had very distinct, but contrasting, views of the Eucharist. First, Ignatius saw the Eucharist as the center of worship because it emphasized the focus of the presence of Jesus' saving power. Ignatius makes three main points: Ignatius connects the physical elements of the Lord's Supper with the physicality of Jesus' body.” Ignatius finds it impossible to take the bread as the flesh of Christ during the ritual and yet claim that Christ did not have a physical body (as Docetism taught).” Ignatius also saw the single cup and the single bread of the Lord's Supper as symbols of the unity that exists in Christ. Finally, Ignatius made the expression “medicine of immorality” famous when referring to the bread of the Lord's Supper. He saw the Eucharist as a healing and cleansing power for the human soul. He understood that the presence of Christ was in the rite and therefore in the union of communion. Origine, finally, focused on two models of understanding the path of the Eucharist. The first was that Jesus at the Last Supper with his disciples. Gamel says, “In this model, a line can be drawn from the Jewish Passover meal to the Last Supper of Jesus, to the meals of the early Christians, and to the accounts of the Lord's Supper in the New Testament.” The emphasis here is on the fact that Jesus used a Greco-Roman model to introduce himself into the Christian tradition. The second Origin model states that "New Testament accounts of the Last Supper are etiological in nature, that is, they explain the origin of communal meals in the early church, but are not historical." This model teaches that the transition from the Last Supper model to the current liturgical models was a slow and natural process... of paper... and that Pentecostal churches see the Eucharist as somewhat important, but without much meaning . In fact, most wouldn't even know the term Eucharist. The purpose of this research was to draw a conclusion about the validity and meaning of the Eucharist by examining the purpose attributed to it in the early Church. Unfortunately, the conclusion reached was not as conclusive as hoped. The conclusion drawn is that the Eucharist is what is done. If there is a deep spiritual meaning to a church, and there is a deep sense of importance that is communicated in a meaningful and inspirational way, then that church will place its importance higher than most others. But unfortunately in the Pentecostal Church in particular, this is an afterthought connected to traditions of the liturgy that have little more meaning than the washing of the feet or circumcision..
