ProfessorDuring that meal, Jesus told his followers his life would be given in their behalf. He gave his followers clear instructions for them to remember his ransom sacrifice. Luke 22:19, 20 says "Also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: ‘This means my body, which is to be given in your behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me. He did the same with the cup after they had the evening meal, saying: “This cup means the new covenant
by virtue of my blood, which is to be poured out in your behalf. So at that last supper he instituted a new arrangement for his disciples to follow. Each year thereafter they were to commemorate his death instead of the Passover. By means of his death, we have an opportunity for life everlasting.
