WHAT THE EMBLEMS MEAN

6. What do we understand about the Memorial bread and wine?

6 During his last meal with his apostles, Jesus did not perform a miracle by changing the bread into his body or the wine into his blood. He said of the bread: “This means my body.” He said of the wine: “This means my ‘blood of the covenant,’ which is to be poured out in behalf of many.” (Mark 14:22-24) It is clear that the bread and the wine are symbols, or emblems.
