The Other Events
But what else makes The Last Supper such an important moment for Christians? This was where one of the most significant rites in the Christian faith came to be. During this meal, Jesus instructed to eat bread, which was his flesh, and drink wine, which was his blood. This was the basis for Holy Communion, where Christians connect with their Lord by consuming bread wafers and drinking special communion wine that are symbolic of Christ’s body.
More News
Further, the Gospel of John states that Christ had one final bit of news to give his friends and followers. He also accused Peter that he would deny being Jesus’s acquaintance three times before the following sunrise. Such news would alarm the disciples even further, causing them to become even more hysterical. Such apparent dissent among the ranks probably spoiled the appetite of most of the gathered. Jesus would, through divine knowledge, know exactly who was on his side, and who wasn’t.
