  March 22. Read Luke 22. The Passover Meal. The Last Supper.
  The Last Supper is what we call the last meal Jesus ate with His disciples before His betrayal and arrest. The Last Supper was a significant event and proclaimed a turning point in God’s plan for the world. In comparing the crucifixion of Jesus to the feast of Passover, we can readily see the redemptive nature of Christ’s death. As symbolized by the original Passover sacrifice in the Old Testament, Christ’s death atones for the sins of His people; His blood rescues us from death and saves us from slavery. Today, the Lord’s Supper is when believers reflect upon Christ’s perfect sacrifice and know that, through our faith in receiving Him, we will be with Him forever (Luke 22:18; Revelation 3:20).
  Reflect: How did Jesus fulfill the symbolism in the Passover Meal? How do these verses and the symbols the elements of the Last Supper represent deepen your worship of Him?
