The Pascal Mystery is the death and resurrection of Jesus. The Last Supper discourse occurs a day earlier because that is when the lamb is slain for Passover. Jesus in this case is symbollically the lamb. Here, Jesus stressses staying attached to him and teachings are essential for salvation. We learn that Jesus’ claims to be God’s Son is true. Jesus’ death and Ressurection accomplished salvation. Jesus’ Resurrection gives us the possiblity of new life. If we are open to Jesus’ message, we too shall rise on the last day. Lastly, without the Resurrection, our faith is vain.
