The Bible uses the juice of grapes as a symbol of blood from Genesis to Isaiah to Revelation. Using wine from the Passover, Jesus connects the "blood of the grapes" with the blood He shed on our behalf. "Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.'" (Luke 22:20) Full Video: https://youtu.be/rwBCd50v1Yc
Discover Why Jesus Chose Wine: The Fascinating Reason Revealed!
Unleavened bread was used throughout the Jewish ceremonies and sacrifices including the Passover when Jesus first celebrated the Lord's Supper. Jews removed all yeast (leaven) during the week of Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread that followed. Yeast symbolizes sin, therefore unleavened bread represents the untainted sacrifice of Jesus. "And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin." (1 John 3:5) "For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin." (Hebrews 4:15) Full Video: https://youtu.be/rwBCd50v1Yc
Uncovering the Truth Behind Communion: Is Unleavened Bread Really Necessary?
Jesus first ate communion with His disciples following a Passover meal. A few centuries later, some folks began associating Easter with Passover. Today, some people only observe communion on Easter or other religious holidays. But is that what the Bible teaches? "But we sailed away from Philippi after the Days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days joined them at Troas, where we stayed seven days. Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight." (Acts 20:6-7) Full Video: https://youtu.be/rwBCd50v1Yc

Churches practice many different things when it comes to communion. Some only serve it on holidays, some serve it quarterly, and some serve it all the time. The first-century church had a different practice: they ate it every first day of the week. "Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight." (Acts 20:7) Full Video: https://youtu.be/rwBCd50v1Yc
Early Christians Ate Communion EVERY Sunday! | @TheGospelSaves Shorts
Jesus chose bread – a staple in His day – to symbolize His body; the bread symbolizes how we depend on Him and His sacrifice completely. “I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.” (John 6:51) Full Video: https://youtu.be/rwBCd50v1Yc

What is communion? Among the various acts of Christian worship is a meaningful ceremony celebrating the sacrificial death of Jesus. The New Testament calls this ceremony various names – communion, the Lord’s Table, the Lord’s Supper, and breaking bread. Jesus chose bread – a staple in His day – to symbolize His body; the bread symbolizes how we depend on Him and His sacrifice completely. Jesus also chose the wine or the fruit of the vine because it symbolizes blood throughout the Bible, the blood He shed for the forgiveness of our sins. Passages like Acts 20:7 show the early church gathering every first day of the week to remember the death of Jesus by eating bread and drinking the fruit of the vine. 1:26 - The Lord's Table, Communion, The Lord's Supper 3:54 - Breaking Bread 5:26 - Why did Jesus Choose Bread? 9:35 - Why did Jesus Use Wine? 12:45 - How Often Should We Eat Communion?

Discover the secret to being saved! On his second missionary journey, Paul was asked by a desperate man, "what must I do to be saved?" He told him, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household" (Acts 16:30-31). To be saved, we must first believe in Jesus Christ. But faith, by itself, is not enough. Romans 10:9-10 also testifies we must confess our belief in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. God only saves those who repent: Jesus sets two options before us in Luke 13:3. Either we repent, or we will perish. One cannot be saved without repentance. In Mark 16:15-16, Jesus promises to save those who believe and are baptized: baptism, when administered to someone who believes, is a saving act of vital importance. Underneath all of these answers is a final requirement for salvation: we must obey the commands of God. So to be saved, we must believe, confess our belief, repent, be baptized, and live obedient lives.
