The Last Supper

When Apollo 11‘s Eagle lunar module landed on the moon on July 20, 1969, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin had to do something hard: Wait. They were scheduled to open the door of their lunar lander and step onto the unknown surface of a completely different world. But for now, their mission ordered them to take a pause before the big event.

And so Aldrin spent his time doing something unexpected, something no man had ever attempted before. Alone and overwhelmed by anticipation, he took part in the first Christian sacrament ever performed on the moon—a rite of Christian communion.

Aldrin’s lunar communion has since become shrouded in mystery and confusion, but the rite itself was relatively simple.The astronaut was also an elder at Webster Presbyterian Church, and before he headed into space in 1969, he got special permission to take bread and wine with him to space and give himself communion.

Jesus set the Last Supper as a Memorial for all who are visible members of the New Covenant

The Past

Abraham and Melchizedek

Gen 14:18-20

Gen 14:18-20 “18 Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine; he was a priest to God Most High. 19 He blessed him and said: Abram is blessed by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, 20 and blessed be God Most High who has handed over your enemies to you. And Abram gave him a tenth of everything.”

The Passover Feast

Conducted by the head of the House

4 Cups of Wine Represent the 4 Promises

Exodus 6:6-7 “6 “Therefore tell the Israelites: I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from the forced labor of the Egyptians and rescue you from slavery to them. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and great acts of judgment. 7 I will take you as my people, and I will be your God. You will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the forced labor of the Egyptians.”

Bread- “This is the bread of out affliction, which out fathers are in the wilderness.”

This is my body-

The Blood of the Old Covenant Lamb

The People of Were save by the blood of the lamb over their door post

They were redeemed

They were set free from slavery

They Passed through the waters - Baptism

They Ate Manna and Celebrated the Passover as the traveld through thtw wilderness to the promised land/

The Present

Christ the Head and Fulfillment of the Old Cov and ties to the new

A Memorial of

Christ

Body Broke and Blood Shed

Death

1 Cor 10:16-20 “16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, since all of us share the one bread. 18 Consider the people of Israel. Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar? 19 What am I saying then? That food sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20 No, but I do say that what they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons!”

The New Family

The Disciples were Christ New Family

The were all baptised - Even Judas

Jesus is fulfilling the OC signs of what Moses did during the Exodus:

Redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb

qThe New meaning

There is no Lamb mentioned because Christ is the Lamb

John 1:29 “29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”

Baptised with Mosess.

1 Corinthians 10:1-2 “1 Now I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud, all passed through the sea, 2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.”

Ate Bread - Manna - Jesus is the bread of Life

Christian Standard Bible Chapter 6:32-35

32 Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, Moses didn’t give you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”34 Then they said, “Sir, give us this bread always.”35 “I am the bread of life,” Jesus told them. “No one who comes to me will ever be hungry, and no one who believes in me will ever be thirsty again. 36

He was the head of the Family and instructed the people just as the head of the Jewish Holds would do.

The New Family Cont.

Acts 2:41-42

“41 So those who accepted his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand people were added to them. 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer.” “42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer.”

Those who have professed faith in Christ

We dont know the harts

We can only make a judgment by what we see and hear from one another.

UNWORTHY MANNER-

NOT ALONE

WITH THE CHURCH

BREAD AND WINE.

V. 25 I’m not going to eat or drink until I - They are making an oath

Acts 23:21 “21 Don’t let them persuade you, because there are more than forty of them lying in ambush—men who have bound themselves under a curse not to eat or drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, waiting for your consent.””

The Future

The Last Supper was the Last Supper because it was Jesus oath that there is more to come.

The End of one thing is the beginging of another- And as Jesus engurated the New Covenant with His Death and He brings us into a relationship with Him on this earth until we make it to the proism land.

Rev 3:20 “20 See! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.”
