Since it is the blood of Jesus that has
cleansed us from our sins, have you ever asked God why we partake of two
elements at the Lord's Supper? Why did Jesus introduce the wine plus the bread?
Why not just the wine since it is to remind us of our forgiveness bought with
His precious blood? Forgiveness is all that’s ever mentioned in most churches
as we partake of the elements. But that's only observing half the celebration.
The bread, the second element, represents
Christ's body in which God crucified our old son-of-Satan, self-centered, sin
nature—the old man. You were then recreated as a new creature in Him (in His
resurrection body, 1 Pet. 1:3). Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are His
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus”. It doesn't reference the person created
in your Mom, but the new you who was created in Christ. This is now your true
identity!
