WHY MUST WE USE UNLEAVENED BREAD AND WINE IN THE OBSERVANCE OF THE LORD'S SUPPER?
WHY MUST WE USE UNLEAVENED BREAD AND WINE IN THE OBSERVANCE OF THE LORD'S SUPPER?
When the ordinance was instituted by our Lord,
these were the elements he used. The passover could not
be kept in any other manner. And these were the elements
used by the early church. THE UNLEAVENED BREAD
REPRESENTS THE HOLY HUMANITY AND THE WINE REPRESENTS
THE HOLY BLOOD OF CHRIST. Any other elements would
desecrate the ordinance because they would symbolize
the desecration of Christ's body and blood!
