And they left and found everything just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.
When the hour came, He reclined at the table and the apostles with Him.
And He said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; for I say to you, I shall not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."
And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He said, "Take this and share it among yourselves; for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes."
And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying "This is My body, which is being given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."
And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup, which is poured out for you, is the new covenant in My blood."
~Luke 22:13-20~

ReplyDelete💙 Happy Passover! How nice to see this today.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how many times I have read this portion, it always gets me. The very thought that this was the last time Jesus took part until it is fulfilled in heaven is so humbling. Happy Passover!
ReplyDeleteSuch a depth of meaning in those words. It's sad the disciples didn't get everything He was saying at the time. Then again, it takes us a while, too.
ReplyDeleteSo late to the party but wanted to thank you for sharing this meaningful scripture.
