The Last Supper

 The Last Supper


The first part of JESUS’ Passover meal with the twelve disciples would have been fellowship, worship of the Father and prayer. Then they ate the meal remembering why they celebrated Passover; GOD used Moses and Aaron to lead the Children of Israel out of slavery in Egypt.


During the meal JESUS taught them the Remembrance (Communion) so that Believers would always have a means of remembering what JESUS did in giving His life to save us from our sin. JESUS revealed that one of them would betray Him.


After the meal JESUS washed the feet of His disciples, except Judas who had already left, teaching them about being humble and serving one another. (John 13:2-17)

“So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again. He said to them, ‘do you know (understand) what I have done to you? You call Me Teacher and LORD, and you say well, for so I AM. If I then your LORD and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.’” (12-17)


John 8:31-32 “Then JESUS said to those Jews who believed Him, ‘If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know The Truth and The Truth shall make you free.’”


James 1:25-27 “But he who looks into the Perfect Law of Liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of The Work, this one will be Blessed in Whatever he does. If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless. Pure and undefiled religion before GOD and The Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.”


James 4:13-17 “Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit’; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, ‘If The LORD Wills, we shall live and do this or that.’ But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.”
