吃餅喝杯 — 馬太福音讀經隨筆 第26章

馬太福音第二十六章第26—29節，新約聖經裏第一次出現耶穌與門徒們吃聖餐和耶穌講解吃聖餐的涵義。吃餅是耶穌讓我們記住他已經用他的身體擔當了我們的罪，替我們受了懲罰，我們就不必再靠遵守律法稱義；喝杯是耶穌讓我們記住他已經用他的血給我們立了新約，我們就不要再去遵循那舊約了。主耶穌在十字架上已經替我們受了在末日我們應受的懲罰，讓我們因信稱義並有永生，這是何等長闊高深的愛。弟兄們，讓我們每天在精神上都吃此聖餐去結義果，因為耶穌是我們生命的糧！

太26:26 他們吃的時候、耶穌拿起餅來、祝福、就擘開、遞給門徒、說、你們拿著吃．這是我的身體。?

As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."?

太26:27 又拿起杯來、祝謝了、遞給他們、說、你們都喝這個．?

He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, "All of you drink it,?

太26:28 因為這是我立約的血、為多人流出來、使罪得赦。?

for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.?

約6:51 我是從天上降下來生命的糧．人若吃這糧、就必永遠活著．我所要賜的糧、就是我的肉、為世人之生命所賜的。?

I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."?

約6:55 我的肉真是可吃的、我的血真是可喝的。?

For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.?
