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.
