The Egyptians worshipped the sun god, and made sacrifices to him with the
same wafer and wine representatives that the Babylonians used and the Roman
Church still uses today.
The Lamb of God
Under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, the prophet Isaiah, speaking of the
coming Messiah proclaimed,
ìÖhe is brought as a lamb to the slaughter.î Isaiah 53:7
When John the Baptist saw Jesus Christ he announced:
ìThe next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith,
Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the
world.î John 1:29
When Jesus held Passover with His disciples on that fateful night, He knew that
He was about to become the Passover Lamb for the sins of the world. He was
going to die at the hands of man, and His Blood spilled to redeem mankind back to
God.
ìFor this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for
many for the remission of sins.î Matthew 26:28
ìFor even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us.î
1 Corinthians 5:7
The purpose for Christians to celebrate the Lordís Supper is to remember the
Price that Jesus paid for all of us.
This was re-affirmed by the Apostle Paul.
