Hello Taufusi. This passage takes us back to the actual time when Jesus & His disciples celebrated the Passover. You can read it in Matthew 26:17-30. In this passage, Jesus had prepared the heart of a particular man to give his home to Jesus & the disciples to eat the Passover. At this time of dining, Judas is identified as the one who would betray Jesus to the Jewish leaders; and they were eating this meal in memory of the time when the Angel of Death 'passed over' the Israelite homes that displayed the blood on the doorposts & lintels ( Exodus 12:1-14), so that they wouldn't suffer death as the Egyptians did with their firstborn.
During their meal, Jesus then took a portion of bread (flat bread as eaten in the Middle East & Asia), blessed it & broke it & gave to His disciples. Jesus was showing them that soon He would have to die & His Body broken (put to death) on the Cross. They would now eat it, looking ahead to that time when "Christ must needs have suffered" in death for man's sins & there was no other way for man to be saved & acceptable to God, except by the Cross.
Jesus then offered them the cup, saying "this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins" & to "drink all of it". Jesus' shed Blood on the Cross looks back to the blood the Israelites placed on the doorposts & lintel of their homes when they were in Egypt. For them, it meant avoiding death in their families - for us who have put our trust in Jesus, it means that we have passed from death & punishment for sins, to new life in Christ. The Blood also showed that it was special - not animal's blood to just shield them from God's Anger, but the Blood of God's Son that guarantees us a complete forgiveness, healing, & acceptance by the Father to all who come to God through Jesus.
The disciples ate this meal looking forward to the Cross - we eat it now looking back with thanksgiving for what God accomplished for us through His Son, until He returns for us.
Dear "Taufusi Faletolu", it is called The Last Supper dear friend. And this is done at Christian congregation meetings around the church of God.
It is a reminder of the Lord Jesus and what He did for us at Calvary. And we need and remember in unison in this. (If i could have decided when and where i would have taken it every time there had been a meeting). But I do not get it: p
For then all who came had been united in one spirit. Be blessed dear friend in Jesus Name, 2 Timothy 1:7
Drinking and eating the body and blood of Jesus Christ. This is an act of unfathomable understanding. "The sacrament of the alter" How profound an act toward man!
This act is the will toward man, that we can live and refresh ourselves, while living in the body of Christ!
We are no longer of this world, we now live, move, and have our being In Him.
What Jesus did the night of his betrayal, would become His eternal, everlasting, covenant with Promise toward man.
So remarkable! How He has sealed us. Sealing us with His blood, sanctifying Cleansing us with His body. We are new creatures, living and abiding in Him!
