Bread: Symbolical of the Body of Christ

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is My body.”

On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Since Paul was ready to leave the next day, he talked to them and kept on speaking until midnight.

For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, took bread,

…and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
