Passover is a yearly festival during which the Israelites celebrate God's deliverance of His people from a land of bondage. It is a day for the Jewish community to remember how the blood of the slaughtered lamb saved them from the smiting hand of God that killed all the first-born of Egypt. Today, Christ the Passover lamb has been slain and His blood has spared us of eternal death. We, the spiritual chosen people of God, must also commemorate Christ's saving grace by partaking in the new Passover - the Holy Communion.

The "one bread" used in the Holy Communion signifies that Jesus has only one body and all the believers are members of that one body. Therefore, the bread we partake of during the Holy Communion is a participation in the body of Christ. Eating this bread demonstrates the unity and fellowship with the Lord Jesus and with other believers.

The "unleavened bread" represents the holiness of Jesus; it is a reminder that the Church, as the body of Christ, must strive to be holy and blameless. We must keep our thoughts, speech, and daily conduct pure. The Church as a whole must also uphold her integrity and pledge her allegiance to the Truth of God.

The cup we receive is the cup of the new covenant established by the blood of Christ. This new covenant is a sign that we have become God's chosen people through Jesus Christ and that we are to abide by His commandments. Having been cleansed by Christ's precious blood in baptism, we may communicate directly with the Heavenly Father through prayer without the mediation of priests. We also have the wonderful privilege of entering His eternal Kingdom in the future.
