The Institution of the Eucharist, the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ our Lord!
Luke 22:19–20 (NJB): Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ 20 He did the same with the cup after supper, and said, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood poured out for you. Jesus and his apostles gathered together in Upper Room to share the Passover meal together. Jesus is establishing the Eucharist now by his words, by raising the bread he said; “this is my body”, and lifting the cup of wine he said, “this is my Blood, poured out for you. Jesus made the New Covenant by shedding his own Blood on the cross in Calvary. Jesus sat together with the Apostles to share the Passover Meal, the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus was for told, he was going to sacrifice his Body on the Cross to give them the life in eternity. Before his passion and death, he would like to reveal this most holy sacred mystery to them ‘the Everlasting Eternal Covenant’ which was our Heavenly Fathers’ plan for the salvation of all humanity.
