The Last Supper
Were you there?
For a moment I want us to imagine being there…
The Passover was different this time for the disciples.
As they came to the table Jesus did things a little different.
Scripture says that Jesus was looking forward to sharing in this meal with them.
No longer would this be looking back to the Passover Lamb of Egypt… it would now represent and picture for them the Passover Lamb of God Jesus Christ.
Matthew 26:26-30
We see God in control
Jesus is not needing to go to plan “B”
His plan is to die.
To lay down His life as a covering for our sin.
His Choice of Obedience
Matthew 26:36-42
Consider the setting… THE GARDEN
Adam failed in the first garden, he disobeyed
The second Adam (as Christ is referred to) He is victorious Obeys His Heavenly Father
Philippians 2:6-8 “obedient even to death on a cross”
The Humanity and Deity of Jesus Christ are beautifully pictured here
God’s Will! God’s Plan… and Obedience
SIN is disobeying God! Jesus never sins!
His Control in the Chaos
Christ intended to go to the cross… In the midst of the chaos we see Christ fully in control
The Arrest
Crowd with clubs and swords
Jesus goes willingly
Ears chopped off
Jesus tells Peter to put the sword away/ heals the man
The Illegal Trials
Going from one person to another
The witnesses contradicting each other
Jesus stays quiet not adding or defending himself in all the accusations
Only opens His mouth to affirm He is the Messiah the Son of God
Pilate not wanting to kill Jesus
Jesus offers up no plea
The scourging
Soldiers mocking and spitting on Him
Taking the crown of thorns
Not calling upon all the angels of heaven waiting and watching
The crowds were chanting they want to crucify Him!
Wanting Barabbas rather than the Son of God
He is then led to Golgotha to be crucified…
The Sacrifice is Given
Here at Golgotha Jesus would take upon Himself the sin of man 1 Peter 2:24
At 12 noon they hung him on the cross “Forgive them, they don’t know what they are doing”
Could this really be God’s plan??? Rewind about 1000 years earlier… King David writes Psalm 22
God inspires King David to write a psalm that would minister to His Son as He hung on the cross for you and me!
We don’t know what event could have inspired a Psalm like this one...
full of agony, desertion, suffering
This is a psalm of lament over an innocent one who is suffering
David describes those around him as savage animals...
Look at how God inspired David to describe his suffering Psalm 22:6-8, 14-18
The agony of the Psalmist / David is evident as you read these words… but now read the words in Matthew 27:35,39-43
As He hung there the shed blood of the Lamb of God was covering the Sin of man
Then we read the words Matthew 27:45
God planned from the beginning that even creation would morn at that moment for His Son…
As this occurred God turned His back unable to look upon the sin
Friends had betrayed Him, abandon Him, the people of Israel had rejected Him
And now God the Father turns His back on His Son then Matthew 27:46
Jesus the Lamb of God
Psalm 22:1 begins “My God, My God why have you forsaken me!?”
As the Son of God hang dying on the cross ONLY God’s Words could comfort God at that moment.
At the 9th hour (3pm), the beginning of twilight when the high priest would slay the Passover lamb, Jesus cries out “it is finished” paid in full.
And gives up His Spirit and dies.
Tonight I want us to contemplate Christ taking your place with God’s wrath.
He died so you may live.
