The Last Supper: Ripe with Meaning
Ever watch a movie where it just all comes together at the end? Movies like Fight Club, Usual Suspects, Ocean's Eleven (12 or 13 as well), and the A Team are exciting to watch. When all of the pieces line up at the end, its just awesome! Whether its a mystery that is revealed in the end that was cleverly hidden through the whole movie or a plan coming together, it can often leave us thinking about it for a long time. Its just like the Last Supper...
We remember the Last Supper every time we participate in communion at church. I'm teaching Luke 22:14-20 to the children at church this Sunday. As I've been reading it and preparing, I'm blown away by the amount of meaning packed into this event. As Jesus shares this meal with His disciples, we can actually see the fulfillment of the Old Testament. Its amazing how much is going on in these verses.
