The Last Supper
Jesus used the Last Supper on Maundy Thursday to do three things.
1. To give his death its true meaning for all time to come.
2. To provide a means – the Eucharist – by which for all time to come he could:
a) gather his people in this world before his Father in Heaven;
b) give himself to them so that they could grow in his likeness.
So at the Last Supper, when Jesus took the bread and wine, he offered himself beforehand for us to his Father as he did the next day on the Cross, and as he does now for ever in Heaven.
