The Lord Jesus, knowing that the time had come for his departure from this world, instituted the Holy Eucharist at the Passover Supper.
It was to serve as a constant reminder of his sacrifice and promises. Just as the Jewish Passover served as a reminder of God's promise to the Jews, so to was the Eucharist to serve as a New Passover with Christ's blood acting for us as did the lambs blood for the Israelites in Egypt -an atonement and a new and everlasting Covenant.
