This openeth a Way for us to our next Work, which is to run the Parallel concerning those figurative and metaphorical Expressions of the Lord Jesus Christ, used at the Institution of the holy Eucharist, Mat. 26.26. Jesus took Bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave to his Disciples, and said, Take, eat, this is my Body.
Metaphor. | Parallel. Christ took Bread after he had supped, &c. | This, in the Judgment of some Divines, notes God's choosing or taking Christ from among Men, to be a Sacrifice for our Sins. II. Christ blessed the Bread: He took the Bread, and gave thanks. | II. Christ sanctified himself; he was set apart to that glorious Work and Office he came to do. III. Christ brake the Bread. Corn, we know, is bruised, or ground in a Mill, that so it may become meet Bread for our Bodies. | III. Christ was bruised or pierced for our Sins, he was broken as it were in the Mill of God's Wrath, which was due to us for our Sins, that he might become meet Food for our Souls:1 It pleased the Father to bruise him. IV. Christ gave the Bread to his Disciples: He took Bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to his Disciples. | IV. Signifying not only his giving himself for us, but his giving himself freely with all his Benefits to us. ⟨p. 43⟩V. The Disciples took the Bread. Note by the way, 'Tis called Bread when Christ took it, 'tis called Bread after he blessed it, and it was Bread the Disciples took. | V. Which holds forth our taking or accepting of Christ the Bread of Life, as the only Food of our Souls. VI. The Disciples eat the Bread. Bread will do us no good, unless it be taken and eaten. | VI. Unless we receive Christ by a lively Faith, and feed upon him, that is, fetch all our Comforts from him, relying wholly by Faith upon him, he will avail us nothing to eternal Life:2 Unless ye eat the Flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his Blood, ye have no Life in you. VII. Bread is the Stay and Staff of Man's natural Life: I'll break the Staff of Bread.
