The Passover Meal
Students may read Luke 22:14-18 or through verse 30
Jesus and the apostles gathered in the upper room on Thursday evening. When Jesus sat down, he said, “I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.” He took the first cup of wine, gave thanks and said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves.” Jesus wanted his apostles to realize this would be the last time they would eat and drink together on earth. Jesus assured them, however, that they would sit down in fellowship with him in the coming kingdom.
Discussion Questions
The Last Supper was a time of friendship and remembrance. But early in the evening, the apostles contended with each other about who was the greatest. What are some qualities of a great friend? What does it take to be truly great?
