On this day, we remember how Jesus transformed the Jewish Passover into the New Testament Passover. Reflecting on this “Last Supper,” Jesus shared with His disciples, concluded that Jesus fulfilled five purposes or desires with this meal:
1) that we not forget Him
2) that He might be our food, our spiritual strength and healing
3) that by the Eucharist He might become our sacrifice, gain forgiveness of sins for us, and be our peace offering, our gift to the Father
4) that we might personally experience His deep love for, and presence with, us, and that He might enter into a personal friendship with each believer who accepted His love
5) that we might share in His resurrection.
Holy communion is our personal share in the power and glory of the Risen Jesus.
