What is the symbolic meaning of Jesus' celebration of the last supper one day before the passover feast?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The symbolic meaning of the Last Supper is that Christ was showing his disciples how they were to remember him. There were to hold on regular occasions what we now call The Sacrament, done mostly on Sundays. Which included the breaking of bread in remembrance of his body and the drinking of water or unfermented wine in remembrance of the blood he spilt. It is also at this sacred time that we have the opportunity to renew the covenants we have made with him.

Why is the lord's supper central to Christian faith?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

If you mean Leonardo's painting it used the perspective, an invention which was then about 80 years old. Leonardo also invented some new paint to use here. It was a disaster and has deteriorated horribly.

Humanism in the Last Supper?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Leonardo da Vinci had a famous painting called the Last Supper. This is a picture of Jesus at his last supper and there are many people around him, this is a simple picture but it is different from the paintings before, and if you look into it is very complex. There are humanism themes embedded in the painting. In the background of the painting there are windows, and out the windows there is landscape of hills and other thing. This shows real life and the depth of the painting, all the different layers of the painting. Then there is also immense amounts of symmetry in this painting. This was important to humanism because everything was supposed to be balanced. Also man's perfection was a big part in the renaissance, and a body id symmetrical. So some symmetry in The Last Supper was, on either side of Jesus was a group of six people, then in those groups of people each was split into two other groups, all very even and symmetrical. There was also four panels on each side of the walls. Another characteristic of humanism art was real emotions. Every single person in this painting( besides Jesus, who was left out for obvious reasons) is not smiling. They are giving real emotions. Humanism art was all about emotions, and being real. All the people in the painting seem concerned or anxious, all real emotions, they are not just happy all the time. Like what was stated before, artist of the time wanted to show how real people in the paintings were. All the people have shaded in feature which give them the look of real people. It also looks like there was a light coming one side of the room, so it hit the peoples face and made them look all different. Humanists also focused in religion( as well as secular views) because people in ancient Greece studied religion and humanist were trying to make their lives as similar to ancient Greece as possible.

What did Jesus say during the last supper and the person who would betray him?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In Mark 14:19, we are told that several of the disciples asked, "Is it I?"

The story is expanded in Matthew 26: 21-25, where "every one" of the disciples asks "Lord, is it I?" and eventually Judas is identified as the betrayer.

Which apostle asked to see Jesus at the Last Supper?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The twelve apostles/disciples were all in attendance at the Last Supper. Judas left early to betray Jesus. So none of them asked to see Jesus.

Now in John 14:8-10, Philip said to Jesus, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us." Jesus said to him, " Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father..."etc.

If this is not what you are asking please re- submit your question.

Where did the Last Supper take place?

Asked by Wiki User

There are three verses that talk about the location: Mark 14:15 says, "And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us." Luke 22:12 says, "And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready." Acts 1:13 says, "And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James." That is all the Bible says about the location.

Did Jesus have the Last Supper on Thursday?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, it is primarily the remembrance of the Last Supper Jesus had with his disciples prior to his crucifixion. Significantly, it was here that Christ instituted the Eucharist ( also called the Lord's Supper, Lord's Table, or Holy Communion.) Christ's prayers, betrayal, and arrest in the Garden of Gesthemane are also remembered.

What new commandment did Jesus give at the Last Supper?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Many will argue that it is not a new but old commandment. But a closer read and understanding of Jesus' role as a human will reveal it as a new command:

The OT command was to love your neighbor as you love yourself - your neighbor being your fellow man. But Jesus commanded:

John 13:34New International Version (NIV)

34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

Jesus gave His entire life in service - even until His merciless death on the tree. If one wishes to become a disciple of Christ, not only will they follow Him but will 'imitate' (meaning of disciple) His every action and command. He is God and will come to judge all mankind.

Is holy Thursday the day of the last supper?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Maunday Thursday is one of the celebrations during Holy Week that may include foot washing and/or the partaking of the Last Supper. The order of worship is adapted from the Holy Bible and can be found in these scriptures: Matthew 26:20-30; Mark 14:17-26; Luke 22:7-38; and John 13. The Last Supper, however, is one of the ordinances observed quite frequently in the Christian faith throughout the year as it is a remembrance of the body and blood of Jesus Christ that was sacrificed for the remission of sin. What separates Maunday Thursday from the observation of the Last Supper is the foot washing, however, it is not uncommon to include the elements of the Eucharist. The order of service is commonly coordinated by the pastor, priest, or leaders of the Christian church. The term Maunday is derived from the latin term "Mandatum" which is included in the latin statement, "Mandatum novum do vobis ut diligatis invicem sicut dilexi vos" which means, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another as i have loved you." Maunday is a reflection of the second greatest commandment that can be found in Matthew 22:39, "Love your neighbor as yourself." This great command is what the Disciples of Christ are commissioned to do and it is a sign of a true follower of Jesus Christ. In the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) it is told that the disciples were asking who was the greatest among them and Jesus Christ indicated that because they are called to serve they would be considered the least. Therefore, Jesus Christ washed the feet of his disciples so as to set an example of servitude and to teach them the true meaning of humility.

What does the number 3 mean bibically?

Asked by Wiki User

the number 3 is used in many ways in the Bible. Like the 3 days after death Jesus rose from the dead. It is used to represent the Trinity. As in the Father the son and the holy spirit. All different but within one God. God the Holy Spirit ties together God the father and God the son! :)

Jesus washed the deciples feet at the last supper. This was something that a servant did and Jesus was showing them that they too are to be servants. How humbling that must have been for the deciples to see the Son of God washing their feet.

Asked by Wiki User

At the last supper Jesus took the bread and wine, blessing both of them. He then gave it to the deciples. This was the start of communion. Jesus also predicted things. One thing he correctly predicted was that Peter would deny him three times before the rooster crowed. He also correctly predicted that Judas Iscariot would betray him.

What happens in mass on holy Thursday?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Roman Catholic AnswerOn Holy Thursday, the night before His Crucifixion, Jesus instituted the Eucharist, the Sacrifice of the Mass, and the sacrament of the priesthood; all at the Last Supper.

In addition to this, according to John's Gospel Jesus did to other remarkable things. First, he profoundly demonstrated to his disciples that real leadership involves humility and service. To show this, he washed his disciples' feet - a task normally reserved for the lowest of slaves - and commanded them to serve one another humbly. Secondly he breathed the Holy Spirit on them, and commanded them to love one another as he loved them, so that in the future Chistians could be identified by the love they shared one with another.

What makes man different from all other animals is mans ability to reason. He is able to distinguish between what is right or wrong, good or evil and he makes a choice for the distinction made by the intellect. As a rational being, he is able to take responsibility for his actions because he knows out of reason and not instinct.
