Hello Church,

Symbol of Love

One piece of bread is broken intentionally. It’s part of the ceremony. This striped and pierced bread, is wrapped in a cloth and hidden. When “found,” the broken bread is eaten with the cup of wine called, the Cup of Redemption. Every part of the Passover points to Jesus, the Lamb of God.

Jesus took bread, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to His disciples. He said, “this is My body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.” [Luke 22.19 NLT] Jesus, we remember. Thank You for the freedom and the life You gave us with Your death. You did it because You loved us.

Thank You for the reminders.

--Phyllis Hanks
