The supper was inaugurated in a time of rupture and transition. Jesus celebrated the last passover and announced a new exodus, the salvation of the new Israel of God where he was the paschal lamb. The passover became supper, the firstborn of the Egyptians who died on the first passover came to be understood in the death of God's firstborn. Since then, the Christian supper began to have meanings like presence, communion, joy, welcome, celebration and waiting for the Lord's return. The Supper tends to be disfigured when its emphasis happens to be the location, shape and ethical requirements placed on the participants as being more important than the presence of the Lord.
