If jesus knew this was indeed his last supper, why did he only have wine and bread - which had been around thousands of years before him? Why did he not pull one last miracle and have a Coke and a moonpie, things that were not yet around, and call them his blood and body? I mean, he wants people to belive he was the son of a god. This would have really convinced a lot of people.

Earl D - yeah, i know it is RC and a moonpie, but I never liked RC. I grew up down south.

I agree. I bet those buddies of his were really hungry. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for them to eat the bread, when he said it was his body. After all, they saw him do some crazy stuff, and might have taken him literally and spat out the jesus chunks.

The last supper was a parallel to the Lord's Supper of this current Christian day. Keep in mind, the last supper was a Passover meal. 10 days prior to Passover, every Israelite had to purge the house of leaven. There could be no leaven in the house. This was the Supper Meal which celebrated the night the Holy Spirit passed over the Israelites homes and spared the first born, while they were in captivity in Egypt. The unleaven bread was the bread of "haste" where they had to hurry to get out of Egypt and did not use leaven because they had to bake the bread without rising.
Jesus had to comply with the Laws of Moses or else He would have been in sin. His power was not like magic which He could use indiscriminately for His own convenience. Every time He did a miracle, it had purpose and power to move the mind of people.
Nothing will convince some men He was the Son of God...even when He arose from the dead, there was still doubt. When he resurrected Lazarus who's body was stinking and rotting off the bones, would they believe to the point of following.
Now if the power won't convince you, nor the returning of the DEAD....do you think a Moonpie and Coke would really do it??

lololol
True, it would have been a spectacular little parting gesture. I guess it came down to a toss-up between a spectacular miracle, and something that could be replicated by the disciples once he was gone. I mean, you can imagine the kerfuffle can't you?
And the Lord spake:
"When two or three are gathered together in my name, break moonpie and eat of it, for it is my body, drink Coke, for it is my blood..."
And Matthew did look upon the feast, and say unto the Lord
"Erm...what the hell is that stuff?"
And the Lord did look up, and regard him with pitying eyes, and said unto him
"Yummy".
And Judas Iscariot did nudge Simon Peter in the ribs and say unto him "How the hell are we gonna get bits of moon in the pie. I mean, no bother for the son of God, but how are we gonna follow that?"
And Simon Peter, with a mouthful of pie, did mutter back to him.
"Don't worry about it, mate - we'll substitute it with something easier...bread, wine, that sort of thing, try the Coke, it's like having bees in your head..."

The Last Supper was actually a Jewish Passover meal. It was a meal that the Jewish people had celebrated for thousands of years and Jeus wanted His followers to celebrate the Eucharist for thousands of years.
In a way, He wanted to start something new, but in other ways, He did not want to start anything new. He wanted to take something very familiar to people - the celebration of Passover - and have people look at it in a new way. He wanted people to see that He was the sacrificial lamb and that God's judgement for our sins would "pass over" the people who believed in Him.
Besides driking a Coke while eating a moonpie creates violent fizzing in your mouth and makes it hard to pray when you are spewing Coke and belching.

Hmmmmm .... I kind of think Jesus was a mad man who needed medical attention. How else do you come up with a crazy story like that?Should I go to the next rebel and ask if there are any gods that he's created so I can sell different types of bibles, statues, and necklaces ... then decorate my home according to this man's belief and ask for hand outs too? [assuming he doesn't believe in god] Sounds like a plan!
Would you attend??

That's an RC and a moonpie!
Get it right!
Or Grape Soda!
I think they had some Lamb at the feast also.
It's a Jewish tradition and it's suppose to be sparce!
Corn chips (no leavning) and salsa and wine!

because moonpies contain leaven, and other starches that He would not eat. And the coke would go flat in the cups that they had.

Jesus never seemed to think outside the wine and bread box.
