“Jesus took bread, blessed, broke, and gave to His disciples.” While His enemies are plotting His death, Jesus invents a means of remaining with us to the end of ages, and becomes our food that He may live in our hearts even after His death. He does this at night as if to hide our crimes from His justice, lest they should bind the hands of His mercy. “Do this in commemoration of Me.” Never again is the altar to be without its sacrifice, nor pilgrims through the desert want the heavenly manna. Behold the last bequest of the dying Saviour to the ungrateful world!
