At His last Passover meal, Jesus Christ began the New Covenant by instructing His disciples to eat bread and drink wine as symbols of His body and blood, yet to be sacrificed. And as often as they did it, they were to remember Him as he layed down His life for His friends.
Bread and wine does not turn in to His body and blood as Roman Catholics teach. It is only part of a memorial to remember Jesus as the true Passover lamb that is sacrificed to cover the sins of the people.
Paul told the Corinthian members that “Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us” (1 Corinthians 5:7). We Christians acknowledge that His dying paid the death penalty for us (Ephesians 5:2). Our partaking of the Passover bread and wine indicates that we understand that Jesus Christ has put away our sin by the “sacrifice of Himself” (Hebrews 9:26). We are taught that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7). And Jesus Christ “loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood” (Revelation 1:5).
