Session 31: Matthew 26:26-29 - The Last Supper: The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist

Some connections between the Jewish Passover Meal and our Communion:

• Both a Memorial, not just a re-presentation. (We are actually AT the event.)
• 3 Matsahs vs. 3 members of Trinity
• Middle matsah broken, (Christ killed)
• Middle Matsah hidden, (Christ buried)
• Child who finds matsah gets reward,
  (Those who find Christ get reward of eternal life.)

Sacrificial Lamb must be killed at 3PM - Jesus killed at 3PM (Mk 15:34)

Sacrifice of Unbroken lamb must be eaten—Jesus is The Lamb of God, no bones broken (Jn 19:32)

4 Cups of Wine at Passover:
1) “sanctification” (Lk22:17)
2)”plagues” -“deliverance” (not mentioned  in Gospels)
3) “redemption” (Mt. 26:27-28)
4) “completion”, “restoration” (Mt. 26:29- Jesus will drink it with us when we are RESTORED to Him in Heaven.
