Did Jesus actually institute something new at the table in Luke 22, or was He doing something else entirely? Dr. Abel Damina argues Jesus "didn't change anything" in the existing Passover protocol — He simply identified Himself as its long-standing substance: "this is how it has always been from Exodus 12... he just maintained the existing protocol." This episode of Reintroducing Jesus, Beyond Religion traces that argument through to its conclusion: once the substance (Christ) has arrived, the shadow (the ritual) has nothing left to point toward.
