Great memories take place over meals. This is a moment Jesus never wanted the twelve disciples to forget. He really “flips the script” of who really is the greatest in His Kingdom. This meal is a look back to the Passover, which was celebrated in the Old Testament, but Jesus wanted them to receive a new meaning. But what are the disciples really thinking?
