Mystery of the Eucharist : WestBow Press : 9781664274921 : 1664274928 : 07 Oct 2022 : For Christ did not enter a holy place made by hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; nor was it that He would offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Holy Place year by year with blood that is not his own. Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Hebrews 9:24-25 NASB Jesus interrupted their Seder meal, celebrating Passover. Using unleavened bread and a cup of wine, he instituted the Lord's Supper. Why does the bread represent Christ's body? God passes over the believer's sin because the Lamb of God's body carried our sin. He suffered and died. His body was broken, like bread. What represents His death? Life is with the blood. Life ceases when blood stops pouring out
