Metaphysical meaning of Lords Supper (mbd)
Lords Supper, the (Matt. 26:26-30).
Meta. God's covenant with mankind, through His perfect idea, Christ Jesus. This compact was completed through Jesus Christ's breaking the bread and blessing the cup. The bread symbolizes spiritual substance, or the body. The wine symbolizes the blood of Jesus Christ, or spiritual life.
By mentally eating the body of Jesus Christ and spiritually drinking His blood we appropriate in consciousness the imperishable substance and drink of the waters of eternal life.
We eat the body of Jesus Christ mentally, by affirming the one spiritual substance to be the substance of our body, and we drink His blood by affirming and realizing our oneness with the one divine, omnipresent life of Spirit.
