The teachings on the Last Supper represent an important part of Paracelsus's theology. In salvation, Christ plays a central role by mediating the transition from the old earthbound human being symbolized by Adam to the new creature born for the second time by the Holy Spirit. Through Christ's immaculate birth from Mary's womb an eternal seed was brought to earth, called "Limbus aeternus" by Paracelsus. In the Lord's Supper this limbus becomes food for the soul, thereby finding salvation in eternity.

In his PhD thesis Paracelsus' Abendmahlschriften, Überlieferung und Kontext (Salzburg 2014) Nikolaus Czifra examined the corresponding writings in detail.
