The bread is still the substance of bread but the bread is truly his body because we, the body of Christ, eat it, we who share in the sufferings of Christ. Keyword: PARTICIPATION with Christ. The bread is set apart as holy bread, set apart for a purpose, to be the what makes the bride of Christ, that which joins us all into that one bride. Jesus has bought his bride at a price. See Ephesians 5:25ff. It is a trap of Greek philosophy to suppose a thing can only truly become something else by a change in substance. This is an incorrect assumption, the blunder of Rome and their Gnostic/Greek philosophy. A thing can also truly become something else by simply changing its purpose, its function. The bread we eat becomes the substance of our bodies and it is this bread which is raised on the last day and transformed into a body of glory.
