Today is the day that most Christians celebrate the last supper of Jesus and His disciples. It is a Passover supper from what I can tell.
I participated in a Passover meal at a church I visited. It was very interesting to learn how the Passover was celebrated and its meaning in light of Christ's fulfillment.
I don't think that I would make this a habit in my life, but it was a helpful and edifying occasion for me to at least do once. Perhaps I'll get the opportunity to do so again, as long as it is celebrated by Christians and the significance of each aspect is explained in light of Christ's fulfillment.
We can do so as an option, but I believe we are not to practice the OT rites as an obligation because Christ's work not only fulfilled the OT Mosaic system, but also put it away forever, since it was a shadow and a tydpe pointing to the reality of Christ, His person and His salvific work.
The book of Hebrews is a good read concerning how Jesus fulfilled the OT Mosaic covenant completely and faithfully. No one else can do so. That is why we need a Savior.
So, recall how poignant this last supper must have been for Jesus and then later for His disciples after He was crucified, dead, resurrected, and ascended as they recalled the supper and all that followed whenever they together partook of the Lord's Supper. The disciples of all people knew the significance of the Passover meal and its meaning and then understood even more so the OT ordinance in light of what Jesus did to fulfill this ordinance in the shedding of His blood and the way God passes over our sins because we died with Christ and rose with Him spiritually speaking.
How precious is our Passover Lamb , slain for us, for the forgiveness of sins, and the redemption from the kingdom of darrkness into the kingdom of light, and for the deliverance from evil and the evil one.
