Heavenly Bread Day 69
All Christians at some time or other struggle with the sacramental words, "This is my body." It is a difficult phrase and is compounded by a further statement from Jesus"This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."1 What does Jesus mean? Is the bread literally transformed into his flesh? Are his words purely a reminder of the crucifixion? Is there here a sacramental precursor to The Lord's Supper?
Beginnings
Paul tells his own story about the beginnings of this Holy Communion, "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."2
1John 6.51. 21 Corinthians 11.23,24.
