After Jesus had ended His talk with
His disciples on the Mount of Olives
they went on 10 Bethany and remained
there quietly on Wednesday and part
OF Thursday. Meanwhile Judas went
To the chief priests and elders and
planned with them 10 betray Jesus
into their hands.
On Thursday evening was the feast
of the Passover, for which a great
multitude of Jews had come to Jerusa-
lem from ali parts of the world. 1t
was held in the spring of each year,
about the middle of our April, in Inem-
DRY OF that night 1900 years before,
when God had delivered their fore
fathers from slavery in Egypt. Read
in ENod. u OF the Lords command to
kill a lamb and sprinkle the blood on
the door, and how the destroying angel
passed over the homes of all who
obeyed that command. SO they were
saved through the blood OF the lamb.
The Passover supper was not only
in me emory OF the past. but to remind
them of the future. of the time when
one should come who would deliver
them from a greater danger-eternaI
death. Read in Mark 14:13-1G Of the
strange manner in which two, OF the
disciples found a room where they
made the supper ready. Our lesson
tells MS how Jesus showed Judas that
He knew what he had done: and John
~ says lnaI the traitor went out
into the dark night. leaving Jesus and
the II faithful ones alone
Hundreds OF thousands OF lambs had
been slain that the Passover supper
might be kept. Now Jesus. Himself
the true Lamb Of God. was 70 die the
very next morning. that thus God for
His sake might pass over our sins.
There would then be no more need for
the Passover supper. for its meaning
would be fulfilled. But people forget
50 easily that. strange as il may seem.
something was needed to keep in mem-
orv that wonderful event-the Lamb
slain for us. SO Jesus appointed a new
memory supper to take the place OF
the old. This is what we call the ordi-
nance Of the Lords supper.
The death. the burial. and the resur-
rection by which we pass from the old
life TO the new. is pictured in baptism.
This is the great confession OF faith.
by which We enter His church. Then
the great truths Of salvation through
the death Of Christ and the new life
are set forth in the communion.
