SEEING JESUS IN THE MATZAH<br />

BREAD<br />

The bread our Lord Jesus would have used when He<br />

broke bread on the night of the Passover <strong>and</strong> said,<br />

“Take, <strong>eat</strong>; this is My body which is broken for you”<br />

(1 Cor. 11:24) was unleavened Jewish matzah bread.<br />

Matzah bread is a flat, cracker-like bread specially<br />

prepared for the Passover. I wanted <strong>to</strong> highlight this<br />

because <strong>to</strong>day most of us think of soft, fluffy loaves<br />

when we mention bread. But this is not the kind of<br />

bread Jesus was talking about.<br />

When our church was smaller, we purchased<br />

matzah bread <strong>and</strong> broke it in<strong>to</strong> pieces for our<br />

congregation when we par<strong>to</strong>ok of the holy<br />

Communion <strong>to</strong>gether each week. As we ate the<br />

bread, we could hear crunching sounds from the<br />

people around us, <strong>and</strong> I believe we were hearing the<br />

scripture in John 6:56 being fulfilled—hearing what<br />

it sounds like <strong>to</strong> trogo!
