Jesus Christ was not conquered; He held His head up until the end, bowing it only when He gave up His spirit. His death was a supreme victory, not a defeat, as He had finished what the Father had given Him to do, accomplishing it perfectly. He lived a completely sinless life and died in complete devotion to the Father, serving humanity to the utmost and pouring Himself out. His crucifixion, though He was marred beyond recognition, did not break Him; His body remained unbroken. Through the Passover, symbolized by bread and wine, He unites us in communion, representing sharing, participation, and fellowship. The bread, broken for sharing, signifies one unbroken body—His body—which we join with as we partake. Jesus described Himself as the bread of life, a symbol of living flesh that endures to everlasting life, coming down from heaven to give life to the world. He emphasized that whoever eats this bread, His flesh, will live forever, abiding in Him as He abides in them. The bread represents His sinless, living flesh, not a dead or broken body, and by partaking, we connect to His perfect life, accepted into God's presence through that undefiled life.

Jesus Christ, during His life on earth, faced widespread confusion and doubt about His identity. When He asked His followers who people thought He was, some believed Him to be John the Baptist returned from the dead, others saw Him as a second Elijah, Jeremiah, or another ancient prophet. Peter, one of His disciples, declared Him to be the Christ, the Son of the living God, though he and the others misunderstood His true mission, expecting a human Messiah to lead Israel to political glory. This misunderstanding persisted even after His death, as His unexpected execution shocked and disappointed His followers, who had hoped for a sovereign and glorious nation under His leadership. Public opinion about Jesus was divided; many were unsure of who He was despite the signs in ancient scriptures. Some accused Him of being mad or possessed by a demon, and even those who knew Him from childhood thought He was out of His mind, attempting to restrain Him. Yet, Jesus drew large crowds of common people, intrigued by His teachings, which provoked jealousy among religious leaders who complained that the world had gone after Him. Even Pontius Pilate, a Roman official, was struck with fear upon hearing the claim that Jesus was the Son of God, questioning His origins. His own disciples marveled at His nature, asking who He could be, especially after witnessing His miracles and authoritative teaching, which astonished the people for its unique power, unlike that of the scribes. The educated elite were shocked by His depth of learning and wisdom, as He was not seen as an intellectual, political leader, or established religious scholar, seemingly emerging from nowhere. Religious leaders mocked Him, admitting they did not know where He came from, despite being impressed by His knowledge and philosophy. The confusion and amazement persisted, with many unwilling to change themselves despite the impact of His words.
