At the meal observed in the tradition of Passover, Jesus Christ instituted a new covenant, with the new command to love one another as He has loved us. He shows us this love in the example of washing His disciples' feet, and in giving of His very body and blood.
Just as the Jews had kept the Passover to remember how God delivered them from slavery in Egypt, so we Christians keep this new Passover feast to remember what Christ has done for us in establishing a New Covenant, which frees us from sin, and gives us new life, all because of His love.
