INTRODUCTION:

The Elements - Bread = His body broken for us - symbol - broken for you individually, personally

                     - Wine = His blood poured out for us -   "   - poured out for you individually, personally

The Origin = Passover meal at the Last Supper - night the Passover was celebrated.  This was the night that God reestablished the covenant with Israel as His chosen people.
Matt. 26:26-28
AS the Hews celebrate, commemorate their covenant relationship with God through the Passover meal ... So Christians celebrate/commemorate our Covenant with the Lord through the Lord's Supper

The Lord's Supper = celebrated, practiced in some similar fashion by Christians through out the history of the church And through out the world today!!
