Santa ceia
A Santa Ceia é uma das ordenanças mais sagradas da igreja cristã. Instituída por Jesus na última noite antes da crucificação, ela celebra seu sacrifício e proclama sua morte até que Ele volte.
A instituição por Jesus
Na noite em que foi traído, Jesus tomou o pão e o cálice, deu graças e os compartilhou com os discípulos, dizendo: 'Fazei isto em memória de mim.'
They were eating and Yeshua [God is Salvation] took bread, Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous), divided it, gave it to his disciples and said: "Take and eat; this is my body",
He took the cup, gave praise to his Father, gave it to them, and said: "Drink from this, all of you".
"This is my blood of the new covenant which will be poured out for many for the atonement of sins"
And as they did eat, Yeshua [God is Salvation] took bread, and Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous), and broke [it], and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave [it] to them: and they all drank of it.
And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament (a covenant, ratified in death), which is shed for many.

And he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke [it], and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup [is] the new testament (a covenant, ratified in death) in my blood, which is shed for you.
O significado espiritual
