When Jesus gave His disciples the bread of His body during the first Communion, He did not cut it with a knife, or have it prepared with a perforation so that it would break cleanly into pieces. Jesus took a loaf of bread and simply broke it. Unlike a wafer it didn’t snap cleanly, but tore, and it’s edges were jagged, uneven, and ripped asunder; it was a messy tear. This is how He died for us… He died just as we live and die… messy, torn, imperfect, and yet made to be righteous, by His sacrifice, resurrection, and our coming ascension upon His return.
