He does not. While the Catholic Church holds this to be true, there are denominations that do not. for instance, the idea that we are to take the Lord's Supper "in memory of Him" is so we can remember what He did for us.

Come on.
I'll take the time to answer this just ...well because I have a few minutes to spare and I want to get more points.
Communion is symbolic. People are not eating Jesus' flesh and drinking his blood. They are drinking wine, which symbolizes his blood, and eating bread or a wafer which symbolizes his flesh.
Just as the American flag is not the USA, but it symbolizes or represents the USA.
I don't know how old you are, but I would suggest you investigate the difference between the abstract and the concrete. If these words mean nothing to you in this context, then the advice applies all the more.

Jesus never at anytime told us to eat him. He said the bread represented the sacrifice he was about to offer and the wine represented the blood that would be poured out on behalf of mankind.
This is not canniballism. That is why when some disciples walked away he turned to the twelve and asked them if they too wont be going and peter answered ' Lord who can we go away to. You have sayings of everlasting life'.
The disciples waited for Jesus to explain what he meant ans so during the last supper he told them that they should keep doing this in rememberance of him. The bread and wine were just symbols. Jesus never turned into bread and wine neither did he give his disciples his flesh and blood to feed on. By reflecting on that last supper regularly we show our faith in the sacrifice of his death

He was speaking that as a metaphor.
To eat is to take in nourishment. The word of God (the Bible) is perfect foot to grow by.
As the Bible says, the life of the body is in the blood (you can not live without blood), if you ask Jesus to come into your heart you are receiving His perfect (eternal) life giving blood.

Jesus said His words were spirit, and life!
We have a natural spiritual defensive shield. The aura, that
can block out spiritual things.
The act of taking the body and blood INTO our bodies, actually
lowers our defensive shield, so the Holy Spirit can do it's work
of healing and unifying the body of Christ.

he does not mean physically eating his body. its symbolic. this is part of the institution of Communion. we are to drink his blood (represented today by grape juice, which is unfermented wine) and eat his body (unlevended bread). we are to participate in this process to renew our covenant with the Lord. (you only do this if you are baptized) read Matthew chapter 26 starting at verse 17 in the Bible. it talks about the Last Supper and what the bread and wine means.

I think He said: " Do this to remember me." He want us to remember him and the good he did. Let me add something here, He also wants Christan's to HELP others. Do unto others as you would do unto me. Things like that. So if Jesus needed heath care would you not give to him? what about the 45M or so of us that do not have it? I for one do not want to face God when He asks; ' When I needed health care did you provide it?"

Jesus didn't say that. The elements represent the blood and body of Christ.
