According to the book, Jesus' words and actions at the meal presupposed an already existing Passover ritual in which the messiah was represented by a piece of bread. Jesus was not introducing new symbolism but rather employing an established symbol to refer to himself. Matthew Colvin, in his book, places Jesus' words in the Upper Room within the context of historically attested Jewish thought about Passover. By doing so, he offers a fresh perspective on the Eucharist, presenting a credible first-century Jewish understanding of the Last Supper and the Lord's Supper. This perspective also informs a sacramentology evident in the letters of the apostle Paul. By adopting this perspective, we gain a historical foundation to challenge and correct Christian assumptions about the Eucharist, both in the past and present. It helps us understand the proper way to celebrate this sacred ritual.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe significance of Jesus' words, \"This is my body,\" during the Last Supper is explored in The Lost Supper.
