17. The Bread of the Presence

The Lord gives instructions about the bread of the presence in the Old Testament (Exodus 25:30 and Leviticus 24:5-9), which is a sign of God's presence among the people and of the covenantal relationship they share. Jesus gives us a New Bread of the Presence in the Eucharist, which is more than a sign - the reality of His Presence among us and the New Covenant. Incredible!
