What is the significance of Jesus desiring to celebrate the Passover?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' desire to celebrate the Passover highlights His deep affection for His disciples and the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan.

Jesus' statement, 'With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer' (Luke 22:15), underscores His profound love for His disciples and the significance of this moment in God’s redemptive history. This desire reveals the intimate relationship Jesus had with His followers and foreshadows His sacrificial death that the Passover anticipates. By transitioning the Passover meal into the institution of the Lord's Supper, Jesus not only fulfills the Old Testament type but establishes a new covenant in His blood that emphasizes the gracious provision for sin. This deep affection reflects the character of Christ, inviting believers to partake of His grace through remembrance.
