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?

Don Fortner



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!
