When the Israelites were liberated from slavery in Egypt, the celebration of the Passover was created as represented in the Gospel Mark 14:1-26. Jesus and his disciples were Jewish men. He chose the Passover time to reveal to his death because then they would understand the symbolism and how his sacrifice would free their sins like Moses freed the Israelites. The gospels mark 14:1-26 represents how Jesus is observing the important aspect of the Passover feast because in the feast, Jesus blesses some unleavened bread representing his body (the bread had no yeast like Jesus had no sin) and the wine representing his blood which he then asks the men to take it in memory of him. In modern day Christian mass, Jesus is referred to as the Lamb of

    Though there are three different accounts of the Lord’s Last Supper in the bible—written by Matthew, Luke, and John—each record share common threads. Specifically speaking, the scriptures all express Jesus’ desire for people to, through the symbols of bread and wine, receive his body and blood in remembrance of him. In other words, through this symbolic and orderly process, all accounts show that Jesus wants his followers to remember the sacrifice he made: die on the cross to pay for mankind’s sins. Ultimately, I found these accounts to show Jesus suggesting a redemptive nature of his death.…

    The book of Mark is a genre of gospel. Mark is one of four Gospels written in the New Testament. The gospel of Mark begins by describing the life and ministry of Jesus. John the Baptist said that “I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit. (Mark 1:8) After Jesus baptism, he was tempted by Satan but he overcame all of the temptations. Jesus then began calling on His disciples with the purpose being that these men would follow and learn from Him as Jesus shared and taught the gospel. Jesus predicts He will be killed and will rise three days later. Jesus predicts Peter will deny Him three times. Peter does just as Jesus predicted and denies knowing Jesus. Jesus is taken before Pilate and is sentenced to death. During Jesus Crucifixion (Mark 15) a man named Simon helped carry his cross. After three hours on the cross, darkness occurred for three hours, at which point Jesus cried out “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?; then Jesus had took his last breath. He was buried in a tomb cut out of rock, and rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. He resurrected on the third day just as He predicted would happen.…

    Passover One of the major Jewish holidays observes the Jew’s liberation from slavery in Egypt, known as Passover. This story is told in the book of Exodus and comes from the idea that God passed over the houses of the Israelites when the firstborn sons of the Egyptians were killed. The Jews marked their homes with the blood of lambs that were sacrificed to signify that they were the children of God. Jews celebrate Passover in order to commemorate the liberation of the descendants of Abraham from their prophesized slavery in Egypt under the leadership of Moses.…

    To clarify, the Passover is a commemoration of the Israelites deliverance from bondage, and the Last Supper is also a commemoration of Jesus death (1 Cor. 11:23-26). In the book of Exodus specific instructions are given on how to prepare the Passover meal. God instructed the Israelites saying that they should acquire a lamb, which should be male without blemish, slaughtered and eaten (Ex 12: 5-6). Mark paints Jesus similarly to the Passover Lamb. Demonstrating that he was without sin, as the Passover lamb was without blemish. By blessing the bread and wine, referring to it as his body and blood, and given it to the disciples reflects Jesus replacing the Passover lamb (Mark 13: 22). It also represents Christ resigning within his disciples as God is in him. The Gospel of John on the other hand, does not refer to the transformation of the bread and wine. However, John mentions that the world will not be able to see Jesus after he pass, but his disciples will because he is in them , and they are in him (John 14:…

    One can’t help but notice some similarities between the sacrifice of Jesus and the old rituals that the Hebrews of the Old Testament era would perform. In the Old Testament whenever the Hebrews would communicate with God they would have to sacrifice animals in order to be cleansed. Also only certain individuals were able to directly communicate with our heavenly father, such as the decedents of the tribes of Israel. Our heavenly father sacrificed his son in order to save us from our sins and in a sense he was the ultimate sacrifice. Due to the humane death of our Christ we are now able to communicate directly to God without any intermediaries. We are also able to worship him in any place as long as the teachings of the Bible are followed. This can be seen in Mark Chapter 15 Verse 38, “The curtain of the temple was torn into two from top to…
