Was the Last Supper, a Passover feast?

Question

With wine shared from one cup, with bread, and sacrificial Lamb...was Jesus the the Disciples celebrating Passover? Or were they trying to in a way become it?

Answer 1

If you look at all four gospels, and gain a little understanding about the passover traditions, the FOUR CUPS are mentioned in the descriptions of the passover meal. They were observing PASSOVER in at least part of the tradition that is still observed today. There are four cups, the third one, the cup of REDEMPTION, was the cup that Yahshua said 'is His blood'. The fourth cup, the one He would drink with us at His table, is the cup of ACCEPTANCE.
BTW, as Yahshua is the FULFILLMENT of scripture, He fulfilled a passage written by Solomon.....'The day of my death is better than the day of my birth' Think about it.

Answer 2

Christianity frequently treats them using fact the comparable. From a Jewish viewpoint, the Passover meal would have been a sort for the final Supper, yet we additionally word a "token" meal on each and every Sabbath that includes blessing the two wine and bread. To me, that Sabbath meal is extra like the Christian final Supper observance than is the Passover Seder, using fact the Seder is lots extra in touch. i assume something, alongside with any definitive answer, is lost to history.

Answer 3

Shalom, it was the Passover Seder and to be specific the third cup of the Seder was used. The reason is that from the beginning the Passover was instituted as a symbol of the Messiah.

Answer 4

yes it was the passover seder. there were 4 holidays a year that Jews had to make the pilgrimage to Jeruselum for. At that time of year it would have been Pesach. (although Jesus was expressly told NOT to come because of the problems caused by his followers and the people who may have disagreed) SO, he came anyway and look what happened. The same thing that happened to hundreds of thousands of other Jews who disobeyed or angered the Romans- he was crucified. Oh, the only way he "said" that he was the blood of redemption or whatever was when someone wrote it in your new testament. Jesus lived and died an observant Jew. He would have followed the haggadah.

Answer 5

yes, the last supper was the passover feast...and then jesus took on the role as the sacrificial lamb. thats why we take communion, to remember jesus and what he did for us. the bread was to represent his body and the wine was to represent his blood. he told all that were at the supper that they were to do this and remember him.

Answer 6

The Passover celebration was always a shadow of Jesus' coming sacrifice, and this Passover celebration was His way of demonstrating to His disciples the value of what He was about to do for them (and for you and me). Jesus was the final, ultimate sacrifice for sin, once for all time.

Answer 7

They were celebrating the Passover and Jesus gave them the gift of the Holy Eucharist as a way to remember him and to teach what he had taught.
