In this lesson, we discuss the Lord's final week of His public ministry on earth. It is commonly referred to as His "Passion Week," and it began on Palm Sunday. We briefly talk about the events of each day of that most significant week, but the primary emphasis of this study is on the day of His crucifixion. There are three main views on this debate. They are the (1) Wednesday view, (2) the Thursday view, and (3) the Friday view (of which there are two). We discuss each view and its pros and cons.
The conclusion reached is that the Bible best supports a Thursday crucifixion. Although the most important fact is that Jesus did, indeed, die for the sins of the world, it is still good for believers in Him and His Word to know why they believe what they believe. Should we simply believe something because it has always been "the traditional" way of things, or should we search the Scriptures to find what best supports our view?

Life of Christ Lesson 148: Lord’s Supper in Light of Passover - Part II

In this second part of our study on "The Lord's Supper in Light of Passover," we discuss the contemporary Passover celebration of the Jewish people. Shortly after the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, the Temple and the entire Judaistic sacrificial system were destroyed (A.D. 70), so the annual Passover celebration began to experience some changes. We consider those changes and learn how it has been observed and is still observed today, primarily focusing on how Christ Himself is presented in the Passover Seder.
In conclusion, we discuss the manner in which the Lord transitioned the Jewish Passover into the Christian ordinance of "The Lord's Supper". He explained what the unleavened bread pictured for all those years since Egypt when He took a piece of the matzo, broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of Me," and when He picked up the cup and said, "This cup is the New Testament in My blood: this do ye, as oft ye drink it, in remembrance of Me" (I Corin. 11:24, 25).

This is the first in a two-part study on how the Lord Jesus, on the last night of His pre-resurrection time spent with His Apostles, transitioned the Passover "Seder" memorial celebration into what Christians refer to as "The Lord's Supper". In this first message, we discuss the original Egyptian Passover, which led to Israel's deliverance from her bondage, and the Permanent Passover Memorial (which God command Israel to annually celebrate so each succeeding generation would not forget what He had done for His people in delivering them from bondage in Egypt. We talk about the spiritual significance of the Passover lamb, the bitter herbs, and the unleavened bread. We also look at the Passion Week Passover (how it was celebrated by Christ and His men), seeing how events like His washing of the disciples' feet, John's question of John 13:25, and the handing of the sop to Judas all fit so perfectly into the sequence of the Passover service.
Charles Spurgeon said, "The Jewish Passover was made to melt into the Lord's Supper, as the stars of the morning dissolve into the light of the sun". If Christians, who regularly participate in the ordinance of "The Lord's Supper" (aka "Communion") want to understand all that it signifies, they must see and understand it in the light of the Jewish Passover! Why? Because it was in the Jewish Passover "framework" that Christ instituted His Supper.

Passover Seder {The Gospel in Living Illustration!}

The original Passover was the Gospel in living illustration! God's primary purpose of the Passover in Egypt was to prophesy of the True Lamb of God" to be slain on Passover day. It is the oldest, continuously observed holiday in human history, having been celebrated for some 3,500 years by Jewish people the world over in obedience to God's command of Exodus 12:14.
The Passover celebration has a distinct "order" to it; the Hebrew word for "order' is "seder". In this lesson, we procede through "The Passover Seder" and explain the historical reasons for the various items on the Seder Plate (i.e. matzo, bitter herbs, a roasted shank bone of a lamb, charoseth paste, an egg), what each of four cups of wine symbolize, why there are pillows on the chairs around the table, and an empty chair and place setting, etc.
But the Passover is so much more than a memorial celebration of Israel's physical deliverance from bondage in Egypt. It is an absolutely INCREDIBLE typological prophecy of Christ and the spiritual deliverance from mankind's bondage to sin. If you have never experienced a Seder from the Messianic perspective, you are in for "an eye-opener"! The unity plate with its three wafers of unleavened bread - the middle one of which is BROKEN and WRAPPED IN A WHITE LINEN NAPKIN, HIDDEN from view, and then FOUND amidst great rejoicing and reward for the finder - amazingly pictures Christ's death, burial, and resurrection!
In fact, the Jews call that broken, wrapped, hidden, and then rejoicefully-found piece of unleavened matzo, the "Afikomen" (a mysterious Greek word in an otherwise Hebrew Seder). Non-Messianic Jews use this term, but do not realize its significance! Find out what the word "Afikomen" means in this study! Share this message with Jewish friends and pray they realize their Messiah has already come!!
