The question becomes - how did the early Church (truly the early church) interpret Scripture and practice their faith? If we rely primarily on ourselves, we will deviate. In this case, in the early Church (before the Edict of Milan), priests would take extra consecrated Eucharist to their homes to bring to the infirm, bedridden, etc. After the Edict, it was stored in a special place - the tabernacle - following the same pattern @nutroll mentioned above about the double portion of manna. The purpose reflects the purpose of OT tabernacle - as it foreshadows theIt has a Biblical connection and follows the same pattern as many things that have their prototype in the OT.
(Now it is important to note that we aren’t saying that Jesus is “more” in the tabernacle than other places. He isn’t constrained to any place or structure).
One - that was good. Two - I love that you use before Edict of Milan for the early Church. I get really tired of some that talk like the 1200's were the early Church.
