Last Supper

According to the Christian Theology I studied at Northwest Nazarene University, it was; "a promise, of a better life, in that his spirit would always be with us, and a covenant of remembrance of the sacrifice he would make (die on the cross)" The last supper is significant to Christian Theology, because it is seen as God's final covenant. God's first covenant, was his promise that he would not destroy the world again, which he symbolized in the form of a rainbow. The reason there is a rainbow after it rains, is because that is God reminding everyone "don't worry, I won't kill you with this......" The second covenant, was chosing the Hebrew people, to be his "chosen people" although this is a mistranslation. The purpose of the Hebrew people, is basically breeding stock. Judaism 101; You will note that in the book of Genesis, special attention is given, to the lineage following Adam. It says "And Adam had other sons and daughters, but then he begat Seth..." and then it would say "and Seth had other sons and daughters, but then he bega...." and so on and so forth, until you get to Noah. From Noah, it follows the same pattern, to establish that the "other nations" branched off, but then it re-establishes that bloodline, going back to Adam, finally getting to Abram, later renamed Abraham. Why is this important to Judaism? Because, of all peoples on this earth, the Hebrew people, the true, genetically unmixed Hebrew people, are the people on this earth MOST like the first man, and AMONG the Hebrew people, only ONE man, is identical to Adam himself. According to Jewish belief, the last man of that bloodline, is the Messiah, he will signal the end of the world, because, as Adam was there at the world's birth, the Messiah will be there, when all known history ends. What I mean by "breeding" stock is, is that the Hebrew people are there to ensure, that bloodline will not die out. In other words, all those ashkenazi Jewish women who bred with all those Europeans, if THAT is TRULY all that is left of the Hebrews then, according to Jewish religion, the world is doomed. It takes more than just maternal ancestry, to be Hebrew, both sides of your family need to be. Also, the motivation of keeping the blood pure, or at least largely clean, is not rooted in racism, because, is it racism, to preserve the blood of the first man? The father of the human race? Do not the people, most like the first man, reserve the right to chose who gets to convert into the religion? See though, according to ancient Hebrew practice, you could not simply pimp out your daughter to this powerful monarch or that, it had to be a man of outstanding moral character and, see, far from breeding with the best Europeans, ashkenazi Jewry often bred with the worst of them. Mostly, powerful men, wealthy men, but, men prone to arrogance, and great cruelty. If the ashkenazi had bred with nice Europeans, the best of them, most misrahi Jews would not have a problem with it but see, they didn't, hence the prejudice that exists in Israel. Moving on; the Hebrews were not "chosen" as in "favored," they were "chosen" in that "the bloodline of Adam, needs to be preserved." Also you will do well to note, that the book of Exodus goes on to further state, that BECAUSE the Hebrews are most like the first man, God holds people of Hebrew ancestry to a higher moral standard than everyone else. Whereas non-Hebrew people, he only punishes the offending person themselves, a person of Hebrew descent who incurs God's wrath, will be punished down to the 10th generation. God does not just punish you, he will punish your children, and your grandchildren, and THEIR grandchildren, if you do evil in his eyes, and do not repent, and ask his forgiveness. See the Hebrew people, especially the descendants of David, ALL, bear that burden. Again, Adam was the father of the human race according to the bible, but only ONE of his many sons, was most like him, originally that son was Abel, but, because he was murdered by Cain, that son was replaced by Seth. Generation after generation only ONE man, is identical to Adam, in terms of personality, and appearance. That is the fundamental, ultra orthodox, ancient Hebrew tenet of Judaism. If you have Hebrew blood in your veins, and you do evil in God's eyes, he will punish your descendants, down, ten generations. Many Jews hold the view, that their suffering is rooted in evil commited by one of their great grandparents. It only takes one, to cause the suffering of many. Thus, at Sinai, God in fact made TWO covenants, one promising to preserve the bloodline of Adam, and the other being that "I'll be watching." The truth is, be thankful you are not Jewish; again, hardly favoritism, the two covenants at Sinai, specifically the second one, was a warning, that he would hold the Hebrew people to a higher moral standard than anyone else in the whole world. The proverbial "fear of God," is what compels some Jews, to seek spiritual purification. The reason, most will not give up their identity, even if they are secular, is the subconscious fear instilled early on in life, usually in Hebrew school, of that warning God gave. The covenant given at Sinai, actually, there was a fourth, was that he would watch out for the Hebrew people, if they kept themselves spiritually clean. The whole "those who bless you will be blessed, and those who curse you will be cursed" is only true, if you stay spiritually clean. If you are spiritually unclean, and you happen to be Hebrew "I will punish your descendants down 10 generations, and scatter you all across the face of the earth." Thank you God for asking permission if Adam could be created, or we could even be born huh? Sorry, I'm a bit of a cynic, specially when it comes to the Bible. I mean gosh man, 10 generations? Whatever the case, the idea of Jesus, is that as the great redeemer, he was the incarnation of God's final covenant not just to the Hebrew people, but to humanity as a whole. The last supper is significant, because it marked the end of his ministry, and the fulfillment of God's promise, according to Christian theology HOWEVER, Hebrew theology does not believe in it, because, wars still rage, the unjust, still rule, and neither Arab, nor European, seem poised to apologize for what they did to their respective groups of Jews.

Most Christian denomiations celebrate Maundy (or Holy) Thursday. The feast of Maundy (or Holy) Thursday commemorates the institution of the Eucharist (Holy Communion) at the Last Supper. The word "maundy" comes from the Latin word mandatum (commandment) which is the first word that Jesus spoke to His apostles after He washed their feet (John 13:34):

• "Mandátum novum do vobis dicit Dóminus, ut diligátis ínvicem, sicut diléxi vos."

• "I give you a new commandment: Love one another as I have loved you." The biblical the events of the first Holy Thursday were:

• The eating of the Easter lamb or the paschal meal

• The washing of the disciple's feet

• The institution of the Most Holy Eucharist

. • The first Mass at which Jesus Christ is the eternal high priest

. • The first Communion of the apostles

. • The first conferring of Holy Orders

• The foretelling of Judas' betrayal and Peter's denials

• The farewell discourse and priestly prayer of Jesus

• The agony and capture of Jesus in the Garden of Olives In the Catholic Church, there are two Masses on Holy Thursday. • The Bishop celebrates the Chrism Mass early in the day where the sacramental oils are blessed and distributed to each parish. • Then the Evening Mass of Lord's Supper is celebrated in each parish.

It is Jesus. The bread is His flesh, and the wine is His blood.

Nope! Leonardo da Vinci painted "The Last Supper."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is a mural in Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy, completed in 1497. Leonardo could have used traditional fresco paint, but preferred to experiment. So he mixed paint of his own invention.

The Last Supper took place during the feast of Passover. No special Hymns were sung to commemorate the Last supper itself. The hymns were most likely traditional Jewish passover hymns.

Holy Communion, the mass, the Lord's Supper, the Eucharist, the Breaking of the Bread - the name varies depending upon the denomination of the church concerned

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.
