I thought that they killed the passover?

It was part of a Passover meal.

However, references throughout Luke and Acts to "breaking bread" are references to a common meal each time the event under discussion is unambiguous.

Wasn't the Last Supper, not a common feast, but after the passover feast?

Some men at my local congregation gather every two weeks for breakfast at a Bob Evans restaurant. Call me a radical or stupid or a stupid radical, but I think of that as communion and a love feast. We don't gather because we are part of a fantasy football league. We gather around a table because we are Christians. What else is there?

Excellent post overall. I love the insight into Romans 14 and 15. That makes a lot of sense.

I've taught lessons on eating together as a spiritual activity. We seem to have lost a feel for that. We can be almost apologetic about our potlucks. With the emphasis on meals in Old Testament worship, it doesn't make sense that the New would shift to merely "a sip and a pinch" as the shared meal.

Grace and peace,
