Lord's Supper

LUKE 22:1-20

FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD

LUKE 22:1

“1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.”

FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD

ON THE 14TH DAY OF THE MONTH NISAN, WHICH CORRESPONDS WITH MARCH/APRIL.

7 DAYS

IT SERVES AS A REMINDER OF GOD’S RESCUE OF HIS PEOPLE FROM SLAVERY IN EGYPT.

LEAVEN IS YEAST AND IN THE BIBLE IT REPRESENTS: SIN, POVERTY, AND SLAVERY.

PASSOVER:

FIRST DAY OF THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD.

PASSOVER IS A REMEMBRANCE OF THE 10TH PLAGUE OF EGYPT. EX. 12

DEATH OF 1ST BORN

LAMB

1 YEAR W/O BLEMISH

OBSERVE FOR 4 DAYS

SACRIFICE

COOK OVER FLAME

PLACE BLOOD ON DOOR POST

THE DESTROYER WILL PASSOVER THE HOUSES, THAT HAVE THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB ON DOOR POST.

LOOK WHAT JOHN STATES IN

JN1:29 “29 The next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”

JESUS AND THE DISCIPLES CAME TO JERUSALEM TO OBSERVE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD AND PASSOVER.

LUKE 22:8-10

“8 And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it.” 9 They said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare it?” 10 And He said to them, “When you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house that he enters.”

JOSEPHUS STATES THAT WHEN THE ROMANS DESTROYED JERUSALEM 70 AD OVER 1.1 MILLION WERE KILLED.

35 ACRES OR ABOUT 1/2 SQUARE MILE.

MEN DID NOT CARRY WATER THAT WAS WOMEN’S WORK

OR THE MAN WAS A SLAVE.

THE ESSENES WAS A SEC OF JUDAISM THAT HAD SEPARATED BECAUSE

THEY DID NOT APPROVE OF THE WAY THE TEMPLE WAS BEING RUN.

THEY ARE TIED WITH DEADSEA SCROLLS

THEY DID NOT HAVE WOMEN AMONG THEM.

CHANCES OF FINDING A MAN IN THOSE CROWDED STREETS. IMPOSSIBLE W/O JESUS.

Luke 22:11-13

“11 “And you shall say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?” ’ 12 “And he will show you a large, furnished upper room; prepare it there.” 13 And they left and found everything just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.”

The Last Supper

The Lord’s table is for the Lord’s People.

Jesus led them In the Ancient Observance of Passover.

EX. 12:17

“17 ‘You shall also observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as a permanent ordinance.”

JESUS USED THIS KNOWN OBSERVANCE TO HELP THEM REMEMBER.

LUKE 22:14-16

“14 When the hour had come, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him. 15 And He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; 16 for I say to you, I shall never again eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

THIS IS A TIME TO REMEMBER!

WARNING!!!!!!

EXAMINE YOURSELF

1 COR. 11:27-30

“27 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 28 But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly. 30 For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep.”

17 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He said, “Take this and share it among yourselves; 18 for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”

PRAY

BREAD

19 And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

WINE

20 And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.”

1 COR. 11:26

“26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.”
