Session 31: Matthew 26:26-29 - The Last Supper: The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist

 Key Points: 

Some connections between the Jewish Passover Meal and our Communion:
  • Both a Memorial, not just a re-presentation. (We are actually AT the event.)
  • 3 Matsahs vs. 3 members of Trinity
  • Middle matsah broken, (Christ killed)
  • Middle Matsah hidden, (Christ buried)
  • Child who finds matsah gets reward, (Those who find Christ get reward of eternal life.)
Sacrificial Lamb must be killed at 3PM - Jesus killed at 3PM (Mk 15:34) Sacrifice of Unbroken lamb must be eaten—Jesus is The Lamb of God, no bones broken (Jn 19:32) 4 Cups of Wine at Passover: 1) “sanctification” (Lk22:17) 2)”plagues” -“deliverance” (not mentioned  in Gospels) 3) “redemption” (Mt. 26:27-28) 4) “completion”, “restoration” (Mt. 26:29- Jesus will drink it with us when we are RESTORED to Him in Heaven. —————————————————— “This IS my body”

About this Podcast

(Note: This blog is a supplement to the "Catholic Doctrine Bible Study" Podcast. The podcase is available for both iOS and Android) All Christians should want a closer relationship with God.  Toward that end, all Christians should read the Bible!  But there are so many conflicting interpretations that Bible study can be confusing if not disheartening.  Which church, if any, has the God-given authority to interpret the Bible? (Listen to Session 1, if no other,  to see why there can only be one answer to that question.) In this study, you will see the doctrines of the Catholic Church come alive as we go through each book of the entire Bible from a uniquely Catholic perspective. As we come across passages where there are differences in interpretation between the Catholic Church and other groups,  we will point them out, and show why the Catholic Church, the one Church founded by Christ, is the one you can rely on for the Fullness of Truth. The sessions are filled w...

Session 3 - Overview of 4 Gospels

Key Points: Dealing with Discrepancies In The 4 Gospel Accounts, and Emphases of Each Gospel Account. We would EXPECT discrepancies from 4 separate accounts of a person’s life.  Yet the accounts, combined, paint an honest picture of the life and divinity of Christ. Matthew-written to a JEWISH (Jewish convert) audience, to show that Jesus is the promised Jewish messiah. Mark-written to Christians in Rome. “Peter’s Gospel.”  Emphasises Jesus’ ACTIONS and his HUMANITY.  “Suffering Servant.” Source document for Matthew and Luke. Luke-written for GENTILES .  Emphasises:Kingdom is for ALL.  Women in high esteem.  Treatment of poor.  Holy Spirit presence. Jesus’ prayer life. Matthew, Mark, Luke-“Synoptic.” John- Emphasises: Jesus’ DIVINITY . (NOT “Suffering Servant”, He’s always in control.)  Most symbolism, double meanings, numerology.
