The Last Supper was actually a Passover seder, and it was a remembrance of when God brought the Jews out of Egyptian slavery by having them apply the shed blood of a lamb on the doorposts of their homes. In the Upper Room that night, in the gospel of John, the Lord was telling His disciples about how His blood was going to be shed, and how that He was that Lamb. Our apostle Paul tells that when we have communion, it is a memorial to His great sacrifice. On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we are doing something in tonight's Bible study we have never done before, we are celebrating the communion of the Lord's Supper together as the Body of Christ. We are doing it in the context of a Bible studying showing what the Last Supper actually was, a remembrance of the Lord's body and shed blood, and what it is not, the ongoing 'sacrifice of the mass' that the Roman Catholics call transubstantiation. Jesus made one sacrifice, never to be repeated, and Paul says that when we have a memorial to that singular event, there are certain conditions that must be met. Join us tonight for our first-ever NTEB church family communion service, remember to have fruit juice and bread handy, as we study what the Lord's Supper actually was, and what it was not.
