led would be found II guest chamber
IA large upper room-where they
could make ready the Passover. This
Is an example Of Christ's superhumar
knowledge lie not only knew that
the disciples would meet this man
but hs knew that Judas had bar

3. The bread and the cup Instituted
wv. 22-25).
These were symbols Of his broken
body and shed blood by which he
made atonement for mans sins, thus

protested against such net Of dlSloy'
atty by the disciples, and assured the
Lord that though all the rest should
forsake him. yet he would not. The
Lord showed him how little he knew

83-42).
The clear vision of the coming
anguish of the Cross, accentuated by
the utter failure Of the disciples 10
understand or believe, brought upon
him an lndeScrIbable anguish Of soil,

and went apart to pray. The cup of
agony was not mere DEATH but the
sacrifcia death for sin, under the
weight of the worlds guilt.

2. Jesus forsaken by all wv. 1852.
At the sight of the Masters be-
trayal and arrest, one of his dscl-
pies attempted TO defend him by re-
sorting to the sword; but seeing that
