The Lord's Three Suppers
Luke 22:14-16
14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table.
15 And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfilment in the kingdom of God."
17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, "Take this and divide it among you. 18 For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes."
Luke tells us that Jesus "eagerly desired" to eat the Passover meal with his disciples.
Jesus tells us in his Revelation to John that he is still eager to share a supper with us: "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me." (Rev. 3:20).
We believers in Jesus know, whenever we gather together at the Lord's Table, that he eagerly desires to share the supper with us.
