Subject: What is the meaning of unleavened bread?

Bible Note: Lorenzo,

"We are clay vessels, and also bread."

Ignatius, bishop of Antioch wrote of this "we are bread" as he was being taken to Rome for martyrdom around 100 A.D.

"I write to all the Churches, and impress on them all, that I shall willingly die for God, unless ye hinder me. I beseech of you not to show an unseasonable goodwill towards me. Suffer me to become food for the wild beasts, through whose instrumentality it will be granted me to attain to God. I am the wheat of God, and am ground by the teeth of the wild beasts, that I may be found the pure bread of God. Rather entice the wild beasts, that they may become my tomb, and may leave nothing of my body; so that when I have fallen asleep [in death], I may not be found troublesome to any one. Then shall I be a true disciple of Jesus Christ, when the world shall not see so much as my body. Entreat the Lord for me, that by these instruments I may be found a sacrifice to God."

Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to the Romans dated 98-117 A.D. He died a Martyr in Rome after being taken there in chains for refusing to worship Ceasar as God.
