If you view the New Covenant as a legal document proposing a law then that law has to take effect from a certain date. Jesus did this when He said at the Last Supper "this cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood." (Luke Ch.22) So the New Covenant came into effect when the cup was poured out at the Last Supper. The new covenant is not a mere renewal of the earlier covenant that the Israelites broke. No, indeed! For the Apostle Paul writes to the Christians at Rome, saying: "You are not under law but under undeserved kindness." (Romans 6:14) It is really a new covenant, and it was to be expected that it would be a better one, for the Almighty God Jehovah is able to improve matters with regard to those whom he admits into the new covenant. For one thing, he raised up a better mediator, or go-between, in establishing the new covenant. This Mediator was no imperfect, sin-infected man like the prophet Moses. 8 The Law covenant mediated by means of the prophet Moses was good in itself. However, that covenant provided for the sacrifice of animals whose blood could never wash away human sins. So for Jehovah God to set up a better covenant, there would have to be a better mediator with a better sacrifice. This all-necessary Mediator proved to be Jesus Christ. Pointing out the superiority of this Mediator as compared to the prophet Moses, The Bible gives us the following explanation: "But now Jesus has obtained a more excellent public service, so that he is also the mediator of a correspondingly better covenant, which has been legally established upon better promises. . . . In his saying 'a new covenant' he has made the former one obsolete."-Hebrews 8:6, 13. --Excerpt from "Insight on the Scriptures"
What else can I help you with?
Why is the last supper is important?
In many ways, the artists that attempted to paint the Last Supper pretty much had to guess what the Apostles looked like; not like there were pictures anywhere. If you had meant "The" Last Supper, try comparing the details of the figures with others in other Last Suppers.
Why is the lord's supper central to Christian faith?
Jesus said to his disciples - as they took the "last supper" - "do this in memory of me." Paul also tells the Corinthian Church that he - Paul - received the same instructions from the Lord: 1Co 11:24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me." 1Co 11:25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." 1Co 11:26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes. So participating in the Lord's Supper is a time to remember Jesus' death and how having faith in Jesus' death - as payment for a person's sin - is the way people are put right with God.
What is the history of the last supper?
There are plenty of online Bible sites, so rather than retype it let me just refer you to chapter 22 of Luke. What may be a little obscure to modern, non-Jewish readers is that the Last Supper was a celebration of Passover. This gives a deeper symbolic meaning to certain of the actions taken during the event. You may have meant the history as it was performed in the early church, not the original Last Supper, in which case I Corinthians 11:23-26 may be of interest to you.
What are the literary characteristics of the passion accounts of gospel?
Mark's GospelIn Jesus for the NonReligious, John Shelby Spong describes the principal literary characteristic of the earliest passion account, in Mark's Gospel, as a chiastic structure:A The celebration of the Passover Feast, which becomes the Last Supper, beginning "when it was evening" (Mark 14:17), or when the sun went down: approximately 6 pm and the beginning of the day of the Passover by Jewish reckoning. Mark knew that the duration of the Passover meal was three hours and that it concluded with the singing of a hymn. Jesus says, "This is my body," a metaphor that will be reflected in his burial (A').B When was about 9 p.m. Mark then has Jesus and the disciples go to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus went to pray. He suffered alone and in agony, asking God that, if possible, he take this cup (his destiny to be crucified) away from Jesus. Meanwhile his disciples, Peter, James and John, were not able to remain awake. "Could you not watch one hour?" Jesus asked. The process was repeated two more times. The disciples could not watch one, two or three hours. It was now midnight.C The betrayal of Jesus, the darkest deed in human history, came next, occurring at the stroke of midnight. This will be reflected by the darkness at midday.D At 3:00 a.m., Jesus was led away for a trial before the high priest and other senior priests and elders. We know the time of the first trial because Peter's threefold denial of Jesus followed, once each hour until the cock crowed, marking the watch between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m., known as cockcrow.E "As soon as it was morning", which meant 6 o'clock, Jesus was led by the chief priests, scribes and elders for trial by Pontius Pilate.D' At 9 o'clock: "It was the third hour when they crucified him."C' When "the sixth hour had come" (12 noon), darkness covered the whole earth, reflecting the betrayal at 12 midnight.B' The three hours of darkness, until 3 p.m. mirror the agony in the Garden of Gethsemene. Jesus last words, "My God. My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" reflect the recognition that his prayer in the Garden has not been answered. At 3 o'clock Jesus cried out and gave up the ghost.A' Joseph of Arimathea then asked Pilate for the body of Jesus, so that he could be buried before the Sabbath began at 6 p.m., when the sun went down.Notice then that the betrayal occurs at the stroke of midnight and that it forms a pair, in this chiastic structure, with the moment that Jesus died on the cross at midday. This emphasises the author's intention to portray the betrayal as the darkest deed in human history.Matthew's GospelThe principal literary characteristic of the passion account in Matthew's Gospel is what Ian Wilson (Jesus: The Evidence) calls pious embroideries by an author demonstrably over-fond of the miraculous.Luke's GospelLuke's Gospel elaborates on Mark by overtly portraying the Roman governor, Pilate, as an innocent man. who repeatedly stated that he found no fault in Jesus, and repeatedly sought to set him free.John's GospelJohn's Gospel adds details and alters the date and time of the crucifixion, from 9 o'clock (the third hour) on the day of the Passover, to 12 o'clock on the day before the Passover, in order to draw parallels between Jesus and the Paschal lamb.

What role does the covenant play in Israel's relationship with other nations and other peoples?
God's first covenant was with Moses (Genesis 15) and included promises of God's protection of His people and the grace He would give them. The main thrust of this Covenant included circumcision and animal sacrifice. This Covenant was renewed by God with Moses. It enforced the Covenant with Abraham and provided the Jewish people with law and the way to live a good life through the provision of The Ten Commandments. (Exodus 20). God's Covenant was again renewed with King David by establishing an eternal line of royal kings (Samuel 2 7:11-16). God's purpose in establishing Covenants with the Jewish people was to set them apart from the Gentiles (non-Jews) who believed in many gods. With the coming of Jesus the Messiah, a new and to many people, controversial covenant was made which included the sacrifice of human blood, Jesus' blood, to take away the sins of the world. Jesus instituted His new Covenant which meant sacrificing Himself. This He told to His apostles during the Last Supper (refer Luke 22:20-23). All these covenants had the same aim ie. to set the Jewish people apart from other polytheistic peoples and draw them ever closer to Himself. The apostle, Peter spoke of this also, saying that Christians were a "priestly people. God's chosen people." (Epistle of Peter1 1-10).

What religion did Jesus Christ praticed?
Mormonism, or being an LDS Answer: Jesus practiced Judism as God had meant it to be practiced. The Law of Moses had been around for centuries but by the time Jesus came on the scene it had been perverted so badly that it was a mass of confusion. The Pharisee's had added so many man made laws to the Law of Moses it was next to impossible to follow God. Jesus took Judism and showed the people how to live it correctly. Then Jesus took Judism a step further and revealed Himself to be the Messiah that was to come (prophesied)and sacrificed Himself as the ultimate sacrifice, was buried and resurrected thereby ushering in the New Covenant, that was also prophesied. This New Covenant is what Christians practice. One day the Jewish people will recognize Jesus as the true Messiah and accept the New Covenant. Some Jews individually have already done this.
Why do Christians take holy communion?
