Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg delves into Matthew 26:26-30, emphasizing the significance of the Communion scriptural practice in Christianity. He highlights the symbolism behind the wine and bread, which when consumed, represent the blood and body of Christ respectively. At the same time, he argues that the old covenant made at Mount Sinai had become obsolete, being replaced by a new covenant with God. Gregg also touches on the unity between the Swiss and German Reformations and quotes scripture to emphasize his points.
