Summary
The Passover meal was a traditional meal, but not only was it a traditional meal for the Jewish people, it was a meal that had been commanded by God or it was a festival that was commanded by God in which the Jewish people over a week would celebrate and would recognize when God had brought the Jewish people out of slavery in Egypt into freedom, into the land of freedom, the land flowing with milk and honey. The Seder meal, it is on the first and or second nights of the Passover week where the Jewish people would come together, and it was a time of teaching, it was a teaching meal where they would go through a series of sequences and in particular orders, including a variety of cups and very specific foods, and it was to teach the children and to retake themselves all that God had done for them when they were in slavery in Egypt. In the Seder meal, there are four cups, and there is a sequence in a particular blessing in a particular time in the Seder meal in which they are to take the cups. It's come upon them and the thanks that Jesus has given is the thanks for the provision for this opportunity, the provision for the vine, the provision for the fruit from the Father. Jesus, the host of this particular sater meal on that particular Passover 2000 plus years ago, he broke the bread and he gave thanks. Eucharist is Thanksgiving in the Greek text when we read that Jesus had given thanks, it says Jesus Eucharist.
