What does Scripture say about the elements of the Lord's Table?

Scripture is explicit in its description of the elements of the Lord's Table: bread and wine. In Matthew 26:26-27, Jesus took bread, blessed it, and said, 'Take, eat; this is my body.' Then He took a cup and said, 'Drink from it, all of you; for this is my blood of the new covenant.' These elements are not transformed into Christ’s literal body and blood but serve as symbols of His sacrificial death—His body broken and His blood shed for many, as articulated in Matthew 26:28. This symbolism allows believers to meditate on the reality of Christ's sacrifice while proclaiming the Gospel through their participation.
