What is the Lords Supper? ?
Just before Jesus died on the cross of Calvary, he ate the Passover feast, an annual Jewish memorial, with His disciples. Using the elements that were before Him, unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine, Jesus commanded His disciples to eat such as a memorial to His death. The unleavened bread is representative of the Lord’s body, which was broken (1 Corinthians 11:24; Matthew 26:26). The cup, the fruit of the vine, represented His blood which was shed (1 Corinthians 11:25; Matthew 26:27). “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come” (1 Corinthians 11:26).
