THE SUPPER OF THE LORD

The Supper of the Lord which His Highness the Spirit ate with the apostles

was a heavenly supper and not one of material bread and water, for

material objects have no connection with spiritual objects. As at that

time material food was also present, therefore the leaders of the religion

of Christ thought that it was material food which was changed into

spiritual food.

The proof that it was not material food is this: The apostles upon many

occasions partook of material food with His Highness Christ, yet the

supper of that night became designated as the "Lord's Supper." From this

designation it is plain and evident that they ate heavenly food at that

supper. That heavenly food consisted of the love of God, the knowledge of

God, the mysteries of God and the bestowal of God.
