The Last Supper

It is customary for a condemned man to be given one last request before he is put to death. This is seen on death row as one final meal. Christ was also a condemned man, with one last meal to eat before dying. This was the night on which Jesus was betrayed. Soon, He would be condemned and crucified for crimes He did not commit. In just a few short hours, He would be arrested and accused, then beaten and abused. He would be dead before nightfall the following day, His lifeless body put in a tomb. This was the last night of our Savior’s life on earth, and He had one last meal. He wanted to share it with His disciples.
