Before His betrayal and arrest, Jesus shared his last meal with His apostles, which is known as the Last Supper. The Last Supper is described in the Synoptic Gospels. It was not just Jesus' final meal, but also a Passover feast. One of the most important components of the Last Supper is Jesus' command to remember what He was about to do on behalf of all humanity: bleed His blood on the cross, thus paying the cost of our sins.
In addition to forecasting His suffering and death for our redemption, Jesus used the Last Supper to provide new meaning to the Passover, establish the New Covenant, establish an ordinance for the church, and anticipate Peter's denial of Him and Judas Iscariot's treachery.
The Old Testament's Passover feast came to an end with the Last Supper. For the Jews, Passover was a particularly significant event because it commemorated God's deliverance from slavery in Egypt and deliverance from the scourge of corporeal death. Jesus imbued two Passover symbols with fresh meaning during the Last Supper with His apostles as a way to remember His sacrifice, which rescues us from spiritual death and liberates us from spiritual servitude.: “After receiving the cup, he expressed his gratitude and added, ‘Take this and divide it among yourselves.’ Because I tell you, until the kingdom of God comes, I will not drink from the fruit of the vine again. ‘And he took bread, gave thanks, and broke it before giving it to them, saying, ‘This is my body sacrificed for you; do this in memory of me.’ Similarly, after the supper, he took the cup and declared, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.”
During the Last Supper, Jesus' remarks on the unleavened bread and cup echo what He said after feeding the 5,000: "I am the bread of life." Anyone who comes to me will never be hungry, and anyone who believes in me will never be thirsty. Anyone who consumes this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give up for the sake of the world.... Eaters and drinkers of my flesh and blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the end of time. The narrator says, "Because my flesh is real food and my blood is true drink." Christ’s sacrifice of His physical body on the cross is the only way to salvation. As He bathed His disciples’ feet at the Last Supper, Jesus also taught the virtues of servanthood and forgiveness: “The greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who reigns should be like the one who serves.” Who is more important: the one who sits at the table or the person who serves? Isn’t it the person seated at the table? However, I am among you as a servant.”
Today, we commemorate the Last Supper with the Lord's Supper, also known as communion. According to the Bible, the Passover sacrifice foreshadowed Jesus' death. John compares Jesus' death to the Passover sacrifice because His bones were not broken. Paul declared, "Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed." Jesus fulfills the Law, including the Lord's Feasts. Traditionally, the Passover supper was a family event. At the Last Supper, however, the apostles were alone with Jesus, signaling that this meal has unique significance for the church, of which the apostles were the foundation. The Last Supper was designed not only for the Jews, but also for the church.
The Last Supper was a significant event that marked a change in God's plan for the world. By connecting Christ's crucifixion to the Passover feast, we may easily understand the redeeming purpose of his death. Christ's death atones for His people's sins, just as the Old Testament's first Passover sacrifice did; His blood frees us from death and slavery. Today, the Lord's Supper is a moment for believers to reflect on Christ's complete sacrifice and realize that because of our faith in receiving Him, we will be with Him forever.
