What is symbolized by the bread and wine in the Lord's Supper?

Answered in 1 source

The bread symbolizes Christ's body and the wine symbolizes His blood, representing His sacrifice for our sins.

In the Lord's Supper, the bread and wine hold significant symbolic meaning. The bread, being unleavened, represents the perfect humanity of Christ with no sin or corruption. Christ's body was broken for our sins, highlighting His sacrificial love. The wine symbolizes His blood, which was shed for the remission of sins, embodying the new covenant established through His sacrifice. This sacramental act continually reminds believers of the necessity of Christ's atonement and their complete reliance on His grace for salvation.
