Baker and Butler (Bread and Wine)
Genesis 40 tells us of this story and
how Joseph interpreted their dreams that the Lord had given them. Yet this
message is not about that story, but it is to share with you a revealing of
what the Baker and Butler are in God’s Kingdom.
Baker is symbolic of one that
represents the Bread, which is symbolic of the BODY OF CHRIST, the nourishment
to the body, the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ which was given for the
life of the world.
Butler is symbolic of one that
represents the Cup, which is symbolic of the Wine, BLOOD of Jesus Christ, and
the Spirit of Life.
John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from
heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that
I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
John 6:53-58 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I
say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood,
ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my
flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the
last day. For my flesh is meat indeed,
and my blood is drink indeed. He that
eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live
by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. This is that bread which came down from
heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this
bread shall live for ever.
Luke 22:19-20 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake
it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do
in remembrance of me. Likewise also the
cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is
shed for you.
Even in the revealing of the Baker and
the Butler, we see that Jesus Christ has restored even this relationship to the
King. Just as He did concerning the fall
of Adam and that nature, we see in this event, that Jesus Christ has become the
Officer (the one who officiates the service to the King), and has become the
substance (Bread and Wine, Basket and Cup, Body and Blood) the Eternal
Sacrifice unto God for us Forever … alive forevermore. THE Priest and Eternal Sacrifice that was
alive, died, and lives forevermore. THE
Resurrection and Eternal Life – Our Lord!
Amen.
