In this episode, we explore the Last Supper, which was Jesus' final meal with His disciples before His arrest and crucifixion. We discuss the significance of the Last Supper, including the institution of the Lord's Supper or Communion, and how it reminds us of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. We also talk about how the Last Supper is a symbol of our connection to Jesus and to each other.

Here are some of the key takeaways from the episode:

  • The Last Supper was more than just a meal; it was also a Passover meal, which had special significance for the Jews.
  • During the Last Supper, Jesus told His disciples that one of them would betray Him. This was a shocking revelation, and the disciples were understandably upset.
  • Jesus then took bread and wine and gave them to His disciples, saying that they represented His body and blood. This was the institution of the Lord's Supper, which is a reminder of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross.
  • The Last Supper is also a symbol of our connection to Jesus and to each other. When we participate in the Lord's Supper, we are symbolically sharing in Jesus' body and blood, and we are also being connected to each other as members of the body of Christ.
