LUKE 22:14-16

‘I say unto you, I will not eat any more thereof, until it be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.’ his last Passover provides the foundation of that other Feast in which he is ever-present with his Church, not only as its food but as its Host. With a sacrament did Jesus begin his ministry; it was that of separation and consecration in Baptism. With a second sacrament did he close his ministry; it was that of gathering together and fellowship in the Lord’s Supper. And as in the Passover Supper, all Israel were gathered around the Passover lamb in commemoration of the past, in celebration of the present, in anticipation of the future, and in fellowship in the Lamb, so has the Church been ever since gathered together around its better fulfilment in the Kingdom of God.
