1 Kings 6:1-38; Jeremiah 13:1-27; Ephesians 5:22-6:9
And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. Genesis 14:18
Only God can foreshadow like this! When Abram met Melchizedek, he brought bread and wine. A victory had been won on Abram’s behalf by the Most High God and in the peace that ensued, these emblems were shared by His priest to commemorate it. Abraham pre-dated the Lord by almost 2,000 years and again bread and wine were shared at a simple gathering, now in remembrance of a Person. Today, almost 2,000 years after that divine institution, we take bread and wine and remember the Most High God and His victory, won for us at Calvary. —S. McEachern
For the bread and for the wine, for the pledge that seals Him mine,
For the words of love divine, we give Thee thanks, O Lord. —H. Bonar
