"At the time of the Last Supper, Jesus and His disciples were still under the Law

THANK YOU for posting this. It's one of those things that get pushed to the back burner somehow, and it is SO important to know."

That's not possible.

WHY

Christ states a New Covenant when he says this is my Body and My Blood at the Last Supper. Which is happening on the Old Testament Passover(Which is to be literally eaten forever). How can that be unless its in the New Covenant. Thats the Old becoming the New covenant which connects it to the Cross. Jesus(GOD)the high priest is offering himself. Who is also God the victim. Who is outside of time and space(because he created it) unlike us.

Notice on the day of his crucifixion he hardly says anything. Least of all that the(Old testament) priest has to be present to the victim when offering the lamb. Yet Christ did not say the offering on Good Friday. But the night before. Yet unless he is the great "I AM" Only he could do this. Always present. But of course he is God. Which also explains the continual Mass(Repeat of the Last Supper).

It is so amazing!

The natural mind can't understand it.

Maybe this will help.

It is not only possible. It is.

"And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth." (Heb. 9:15-17).

The new testament did not go into effect until the death of the testator. Jesus Christ. While He lived, the old testament was in effect. He came not to destroy the law, but to fulfill it, remember?

Jesus had ample time after His resurrection to cover the whole communion and eucharist thing and there’s no record of it in the gospels.

He and His disciples, under the OT law, could not have eaten actual flesh and blood and remained clean for the Passover and Sabbath. Since the new covenant did not begin until after Christ’s death and resurrection, Jesus, who was the fulfillment of the Law could NOT have eaten blood and remained pure and eligible to become our sacrifice.
