What does it mean to eat Christ as mentioned in the sermon?

Answered in 1 source

To 'eat' Christ signifies having faith in Him and fully partaking in His redemptive work.

Eating Christ refers to a profound union and participation in His person and work through faith. In the context of the Passover, eating the lamb represented the Israelites’ acceptance and identification with God's provision for redemption (Exodus 12:8). For Christians, it symbolizes belief in Jesus — consuming His righteousness, His holiness, and His atoning sacrifice as essential for spiritual nourishment. This union with Christ implies that He becomes integral to the believer's very life, ensuring that they are renewed and transformed. It denotes the necessity of trusting in Christ, experiencing His fullness, and acknowledging Him as the source of salvation.
