1 | Don't understand Jesus's view on alcohol | Prov 20:1 | Acts 22 | 85402 | ||
Scribe, thank you for the clarification. I agree with your point that our Lord drank no more wine after that point. The point that I was trying to make was that wine was part of the Passover supper and was served to all. From my study, Luke mentions 2 cups of wine, while Matthew and Mark mention only one. In the traditional Passover meal, the wine is served 4 times. Christ spoke the words about His body and His blood when he offered the last cup (which would have been #4). More to the question first raised, Jesus'view on alcohol, I still see the possibility that He had wine at some time, even if just for ritual purposes only. The verses that you've quoted mean that Christians should remember Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection when the issue of drinking wine (all alcohol) is presented. It then takes on a more sacred meaning than just a recreational or cultural beverage. | ||||||
2 | Don't understand Jesus's view on alcohol | Prov 20:1 | Emmaus | 85435 | ||
Acts 22, Allow me to shift for a moment from the alcohol subject to the four cups of Passover. Many hold that the cup of the Last Supper narratives was the third cup or cup of blessing, since Jesus and the apostles after singing a hymn (Matt 26:30), likely the great Hallel, then went out to the garden. You may find this article entitled, The Fourth Cup of interest. http://www.ewtn.com/library/answers/4thCup.htm Emmaus |
