A Year in Luke/Actsಮಾದರಿ

As Jesus leads the disciples in the Last Supper, it's important to remember the context surrounding this meal. The Passover was an annual celebration with a symbolic meal that would retell the story of the Exodus - the Israelites escape from Egypt. Each part of the meal was symbolic - the bitter herbs representing the bitterness of slavery, the lamb representing the sacrifice for sin - and was meant to be paired with different readings or recitings. This was a deeply important meal as the Jewish people remembered the most important redemption arc in the Old Testament.
