The First Communion
The Promise. The Passover. The Exodus. The Red Sea. The Promised Land. A Prophecy.
A Savior. The Supper. The Cross. The Sacrifice. The Resurrection.
How are all these events connected and why? Could there be more to the Christian practice of the Lord’s Supper (Communion) than we thought? Where did this tradition come from? How did it start? Can we really know what this tradition is about, and can we really know if it matters?
Today, many Christians practice the sacrament of Communion but have never been introduced to the history and significance behind what Jesus instituted for us at the Last Supper. Most understand its significance, yet only as it leads one back to the Cross. But why did Jesus choose the very specific Jewish festival of Passover as the setting for changing the world? And more importantly, why the Cross? Why did He have to die?
Whatever your beliefs or understandings about Communion (or the Lord’s Supper), take a walk with the me on the journey of discovery down the roads of tradition and behind the walls of assumption and truth to unveil God’s amazing purpose for the Church through the practice of Communion, and why He wants to be sure you experience it too.
The First Communion:
The
Making of the Last Supper
There are so many questions, but the Bible is rich with answers. For both followers of Jesus Christ and those who were exposed in their youth to this long-standing tradition of the Christian church, this book is intended for everyone interested in having a better understanding of the origins, purpose, and importance of Communion.
Witty and refreshingly easy-to-read, The First Communion: The Making of the Last Supper is a journey behind the scenes of the greatest story ever told, allowing readers to take a deeper look into the origins of the Jewish festival of Passover, and how it’s tied to the Last Supper. Why did Jesus have to die, and why did He choose that time and place? Learn why Jesus said such seemingly crazy things, and why they weren’t crazy at all, but statements that connected Him to both history and eternity.
