How Justine Martyr's Account Relates to the Last Supper
Justine Martyr's First Apology relates to what we've learned about the last supper becuase it explains the eucharist, the administration of the sacraments, and the weekly worship patterns of Christians. This account says that only those who belive in the teachings of the church may partake in the body and bood of Christ. This account is made by Justin Martyr so that the Roman emperor knkows whats really going on, because he has heard the rumors that what the Christians are doing is canabalism. He then explains what really happens because the eucharist can be easily confused for canabalism for someone who doesn't know theology. This relates to what we have learned from the Last Supper because we have talked about how Jesus is perfecting the passover. Justine also talks about when the Christians worship, which is on the passover on Sunday. They do this because Jesus perfected the passover on Sunday and he had the Last Supper on Suday, which is when the eucharist was initiated, so Christians worship on Sunday.
