The bread and wine represent the body and blood of Jesus Christ. But what does eating the bread symbolize and how does it picture unity? This sermon traces the Biblical use of eating bread as a symbol of allegiance, covenant, and fellowship. From the earliest Old Testament examples through the Paul’s instruction to the church at Corinth, we see a pattern that directly relates to the Passover service. It clarifies what it means to partake of Him, not only symbolically, but in the life we share as part of the New Covenant.
