The consequences of the sin of Adam and Eve was that suffering and death now entered into the created sphere; in other words--human beings are now subject to the limitations of human flesh as a result of their sin--and personal sins. This was because in sinning Adam and Eve lost their friendship with God--and all the benefits that went along with that friendship--freedom from the limitations of human flesh.Suffering caused by whom?
Suffering at the hands of....?
Through the Incarnation, God the Son took on human flesh--and brought God to human suffering and death--that is, God brought divine power to those things---and they now become redemptive.
In short, Jesus didn't suffer and die so we don't have to suffer and die, Jesus suffered and died so that our suffering and death is linked with the power of God.
Again, I know---what you are looking for me to do is throw up my hands and go "Gee, I don't know! I guess the Last Supper really is nothing more than a symbol" but that isn't going to happen. It does not matter how many questions you ask, or in how many different ways you ask the same question.
So---go ahead--keep asking questions! Keep asking the same question in different ways. My answer is not going to change.
