Long ago your people ate the manna in the desert, and they still died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven. A person can eat it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Everyone who eats some of this bread will live forever. This bread is my bread is my body. I will give it for the life of the world. John 6: 49-51 NLT
Jesus was referring to his body as the bread from heaven. This gives communion a whole new meaning. Each time we take communion, the bread represents the body of Jesus Christ and the victory that was obtained on the cross. His blood was shed to give us freedom in so many areas of our life. Let's remember what the true bread from heaven means.
