in what way is the meaning of the Passover similar to the meaning of the lords supper?

Answer 1

Read the bible and you can know.

Answer 2

They are one in the same. When Jesus sat the Lords last supper , it was the passover meal. As in the old testament the children of Israel were protected by the blood of the lamb as lambs blood was sprinkled over the Ark of the Covenant, So that the sins of Israel would be forgiven for one year.


To understand the new testament one must understand the old. As the Apostle Paul called the old testament, " the shadow of things to come.


As Jesus said oh himself " I come to fulfil the prophesies." not to destroy . The old testament tells us when the Messiah comes the sins of Israel would be taken away forever.

5 ingredients are needed to sit the Passover meal . At the Lords Supper only 4 were on the table. The most important part was missing . The Lamb. Jews today call it Zoa ( Lamb Shank) This is Rabbinical because not a bone was to be broken.

Behold the Lamb of god , John the baptist said as he beheld the Christ. Jesus came to be the passover lamb. And as it was written , the other two had their legs broken on the cross so that they would be dead before the passover sabbath. Not a bone of Jesus was broken.


Jesus is the Passover

Amen

Answer 3

The original Last Supper was a Passover meal. Jesus ate it with his disciples the night before his crucifixion. The bread that he broke and gave to his disciples was a loaf normally reserved for the Messiah, and left uneaten. When Jesus took and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, he was proclaiming himself the Messiah. Same with the cup.

During the first generation or two of the church, many Christians continued to practice the Passover only including the breaking of the bread and the drinking of the cup within the traditional meal. But as the church became more and more Gentile, and fewer Christians understood the Passover, everything except the bread and cup where dropped, and what we think of today as the Lord's Supper remained.

So then taking the communion elements, we are showing the fulfillment of the original Passover meal in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Answer 4

The "Passover" was an annual celebration of God's protection of the enslaved Jews when He sent a deathly affliction on the land of Egypt, but which "passed over" the homes of the Jews. The "Lord's supper " was a Passover meal on the night of Jesus' arrest prior to crucifixion. Jesus used the opportunity to identify the bread and wine used at the supper with His body and blood that He was about to offer for forgiveness of sin. (Before that time animal blood was used by God to forgive sin.) Today when we enact the "Lord's Supper" at Communion we are reminded of His terrible sacrifice. Christ comes into our lives in a spiritual sense through partaking of His "Body and Blood".

Answer 5

The Passover meal is observed by the Jews. It came from when the death angel came to kill all the first born of Egypt when the Pharaoh would not let the Israelites go, (in Exodus). God's death angel "passed over" those that applied the blood of the lamb to the door posts. Every year they still celebrate the Passover for that reason.

Jesus was basically telling the Disciples to eat the passover meal and drink the wine as a sign that if they apply the blood of Jesus to their lives, the death angel would also "pass over" them... and us, if we apply His blood to our lives.

Answer 7

the lords supper was iniciated by Jesus when he had a meal with his diciples teaching them that the unloaven bread and wine meant body and blood

Answer 8

Sort of. passover symbolizes when the Israelites escaped from Egypt with moses, and went across the red sea. I don't completely know the story, because I'm Christian, but i think that's the basic jist of it.

Answer 9

The only similarity I can think of is the fact that the Jews were saved from death and released from slavery when the Angel of Death "passed over" the homes of the Jews who obeyed God's instruction to paint their doorways with lamb'' blood. Christians believe that Jesus is the "Lamb of God" and the perfect sacrifice. Jesus was crucified just before the Passover.Those Christians who obey God's command to accept Jesus as the Messiah will also be "passed over" from eternal death and released from slavery to our baser selves.
