The Last Supper

The Last Supper

Luke 22:7-38 KJV

Luke Chapter 22

7 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.

8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.

9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?

10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.

11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?

12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

19 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.

20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

21 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.

22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betraye

The day of the Passover had come. Jesus and his disciples sat down to the meal. I wonder if his disciples had any forethought about what this day really meant this time? Or was it to be just like the other days of Passover that had come before?

It doesn't seem by reading today's verses, that they were confused by what he was saying. Did they really understand it?

When he took the wine and bread, did they look around the table and really get what he was sharing with them really was about.?  What was it that went through each of their minds that day?

Whatever they thought, this would be their last meal with him until God's Kingdom comes again. This hasn't happened yet, but one day it will. And Jesus will be there with all that has accepted him in this life and we will have a seat at what is said in Revelation 19:9, The Marriage Super of the Lamb. 

What a day that will be! 

Jesus had more to say during that meal. What was it? It really put into perspective what one of his diciples really thought of this man Jesus.

Thanks for coming by, Friends. Next post will be tomorrow, March 31st.

What does the Bible say about Passover?

Passover is the oldest and most important religious festival in Judaism, commemorating God's deliverance of the Hebrews from slavery in Egypt and His creation of the Israelite people. The festival of Passover begins at sunset on the 14th of Nisan (usually in March or April) and marks the beginning of a seven-day celebration which includes the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The highlight of Passover is a communal meal, called the Seder (which means "order," because of the fixed order of service), which is a time to rejoice and celebrate the deliverance for the Hebrews that God accomplished through the exodus.

The New Testament Passover is a memorial of the suffering and death of Jesus. Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth (1 Corinthians 5:8). Passover is in early spring to remind how God spared His people from death in Egypt. Learn more from our list of Scriptures mentioning Passover in the Bible.
