The use of bread and wine in the Scriptures

When we look at bread and wine in a religious service that was first conducted by Melchizedek, king of Salem, gave bread and wine to Abram in Gen 14:18.  Jesus at His Passover Seder mean added a new religious service to Passover.  Jesus gave new meaning to the bread and wine for the Body of Christ to celebrate until His return to the earth on each Passover on Nisan 14. The meaning of the Bread has not been very clear.  The bread represents Jesus broken body (we break the bread) and by his stripes we are healed.  We know that the wine represents His blood of the New Testament, which was poured out for us for the remission of sins.  Blessing

Stephen

Gen 14:18 - And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

Mark 14:22-24 - And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.  And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.  And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

Mark 14:25 - Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

Mat 26:28-29 - For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.  But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

Luke 22:19-20 - And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." {20} In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

1 Cor 11:24-25 - And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. {25} After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

1 Pet 2:24 - Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Isa 53:5 - But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
