NEARLY 1500 PASSOVER DINNERS

• Had come and gone

• Between Moses & Jesus

THE DISCIPLES HAD SEEN

• Many changes occur in the tradition of that supper

THEY SAW THE ADDITION OF MUSIC

• Psalms of David were added

• They no longer stood as they did, ready to go

• They now sat on couches –

• It had become a dinner of remembrance

ONE THING REMAINED THE SAME THOUGH

• There remained 3 pieces of unleavened bread

• And 4 cups of wine on the table

• One loaf of bread and one cup of wine

• Was NEVER touched – by anyone

• Because it belonged to the Messiah

• If He were to come during that meal

BUT AT THE LAST SUPPER

• Jesus did something that nobody had ever done

• He took that bread and cup

THIS WOULD HAVE STARTLED THEM

• For in the act of taking them

• He boldly declared Himself that Messiah

When we see who JESUS REALLY Is

• It shatters our complacency

• And forces us to analyze and think

Such tiny glimpses of glory

• Are given during communion

• To draw us closer to Him

• In ways we have not previously attained

WHEN HE LIFTED THE CUP HE SAID

• This is the new covenant in MY blood

• He broke the bread and said it was His body

• As we partake of these emblems today

• Let us do so, with a heart that yearns for Him

• And a mind that looks in His direction

LET US PRAY
