The Bread.......

Matthew 26:26  And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body".

We break bread daily.

It is done with family and friends.

It is a term we use casually. 

It's a metaphor for having a meal together.

However, in Biblical times, it really meant to break bread.

So why is it important?

Bread was essential to maintain life.

It was a very social act and a time of fellowship.

At the Last Supper, Jesus broke bread with the disciples.

He knew He was going to the cross.

Jesus chose breaking bread for a symbol of what was to come.

His body was broken for us.

Luke 22:19  And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

Take and break bread

Remember Jesus!
