(Matthew 21:9) Did You Know? The Last Supper most likely took place on the eve of Passover. Jesus sent two disciples to find a house in Jerusalem for the Passover celebration. The unusual sight of a man carrying a water jar directed them to the house. Jesus would celebrate the meal as a teacher with his disciples, not among a family group as expected. The entire focus of the meal was on Jesus death. The prediction of betrayal and the disciples denials happened during the meal. Mark also showed Jesus anticipation of deliverance from his enemies and exaltation. Jesus emphasized that the person who would betray him was one of the Twelve. Jesus said the betrayer was the person who dipped his bread in the common dish after him. Mark filled in the details about Judas s plot to hand Jesus over to his enemies. The shared bread was followed by drinking from a common cup. Jesus spoke the words about his death over the bread and the wine. Jesus death was the foundation for the new covenant between God and humanity. Jesus sacrificial death is part of the divine plan that brings the kingdom into existence. The of the Last Supper leads into the plot to destroy Jesus, and Jesus disciples scattering because they were too frightened to stand with him. Peter thought that Jesus death would mean the end of his relationship with Jesus. But the continues beyond the cross. Every time we share the Lord s Supper together at the Communion table, we remember the death of the Lord Jesus. We look ahead to the day of glory when he comes again, and we celebrate with him in the kingdom of God.
