This verse alludes to the institution of the Lord’s Supper, a sacrament that has been passed down from Jesus to the Church. On the night He was betrayed, Jesus took bread and broke it, symbolizing His body, which would soon be given for the sins of the world. In this simple act of taking bread, He instituted a powerful reminder of His sacrificial love. Every time believers partake of the bread and the cup in communion, they are participating in a sacred remembrance of Jesus’ sacrifice. This verse emphasizes the importance of the Lord’s Supper as an act of remembrance and proclamation. It is a moment to reflect on the depth of Christ's love and the price He paid for our redemption. The act of breaking bread together symbolizes the unity of believers in Christ, who is our true sustenance. Through this sacred meal, Christians are reminded that their spiritual life comes from Christ’s body broken for them, and they are called to live in gratefulness for this ultimate sacrifice.
