You know, all this stuff about metaphors brings to mind examples of something like if you have a car accident and draw out the scene on a piece of paper and tell the insurance agent *This is my car.* and *This is his car.*

Well, I think that it’s clearly understood that the symbolism isn’t the real thing even though we say * This is...*

Passover was not only looking back at the first Passover in Egypt, but it was also looking forward to the Messiah coming. Just like communion is not only looking back as Christ’s death, but looking forward to His (soon, I hope) return again.

So the elements of the Passover meal represented things. The broken bread represented the broken body of Christ. Hence, *This is my body.*

It’s a word picture.

Ultimately when a symbolic communion WORKS, that’s what matters.
