On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was being sacrificed, His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?" Mark 14:21
This event at this time in history has three names. Certainly it was the Passover Supper remembering their freedom from Egypt. It was also the Last Supper, for it was the last Passover feast of the Old Covenant. Finally it was the Lord's Supper, as Jesus set the elements to remember His death that would take place the next day. From then on, the Lord's Supper would only include the Unleavened Bread and Fruit of the Vine, for the body and blood of Jesus. No more Passover Lamb because Jesus is our Lamb. May we take it in remembrance of Him.
