At "The Last Supper" in The Bible, Jesus knew He would be crucified, so He gave the sacrament of bread and wine to the disciples. He said that bread was symbolic of His body, and wine was symbolic of His blood, so that by participating in this sacrament of eating the bread and drinking the wine, we would create a condition to claim Jesus as our "restored lineage". Since the Bible calls Jesus "the second Adam", this "restored lineage" would connect us with God's original intent for Adam and Eve.

That is why Jesus Christ is known as the 'Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world'.
