WHAT IS THE LORDS SUPPER AND WHAT DOES IT REPRESENT ?

The Lord's supper is the taking of wine and eating of bread to remember the blood of Jesus and the body of Christ.That Christ lay down his life as a lamb without blemish to take away the sins of all of us.And that this is a representation of a perfect sacrifice that is very important today since we know for sure we have something that keeps on reminding us of the gift of eternal life that was given to us through this sacrifice.

AND I GOT THIS FROM MY TUTOR ON  https://www.worldbibleschool.org/admin/exam/review/1007411
A little extra information: Importance of Christ's body:
Ephesians 2:15 (KJV) 15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
How?
Matthew 27:50-51 (NIV) 50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. 51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split.
We have a description of the veil of the tabernacle in Ex. 26:31-33. This veil divided the tabernacle into two parts as the veil of the temple divided it into two parts, the holy place and the most holy. This veil was rent by the tempest and concussion of the earthquake. This signified the breaking down of the partition wall between Jew and Gentile, and the opening of the way for all men into the innermost recesses of the true temple, which is the church of God. It also signified the opening of those heavenly regions that the Holy Spirit should come down to bless men; and finally, it showed the desertion of the temple by Jehovah and the end of the Jewish covenant. It was divided into two pieces.
Ephesians 2:15 (KJV) 15 Having abolished__ in his flesh__ the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
Importance of Christ's blood:
Hebrews 9:22-23 (KJV) 22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. 23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Matthew 26:27-28 (NIV) 27 Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
This is what I remember as I partake of the "Lord's Supper."
