Quest. 79. Why then doth Christ call bread his body, and the cup his blood, or the New Testament in his blood: and Paul also calleth bread and wine the communion of the body and blood of Christ?
Quest. 79. Why then doth Christ call bread his body, and the cup his bloud, or the New Testament in his bloud: and Paul also calleth bread and wine the communion of the body and bloud of Christ?
Ans. Christ not without great consideration speaketh so: to wit, not only for to teach us, that as the bread and wine sustain the life of the body, so also his crucified body, and blood shed, are indeed the meat and drink of our soul, whereby it is nourished to eternal lifea: But much more, that by this visible sign and pledge he may assure us, that we are as verily partakers of his body and blood, through the working of the holy Ghost, as we do receive by the mouth of our body these holy signs in remembrance of himb: And further also, that that his suffering and obedience is so certainly ours, as though we our selves had suffered punishments for our sins, and had satisfied God.
