The Meal that Defines Us
Sunday, February 21, 2010
Scripture: Mark 14:12-25
Jesus and his disciples celebrated the Passover meal together, commemorating God's saving act toward Israel as described in Exodus 3-13.
The Passover elements and their significance.
One would betray him - all would desert him. We also have betrayed and deserted Jesus Christ.
From Seder to Eucharist
"In transforming the Passover into the Eucharist, i believe Jesus was expecting this meal to define who we are." -Adam Hamilton
Holy Communion takes us back to the cross to remind us of what God has done to save us, but it also points us ahead to the day when we will eat this meal in the kingdom of heaven.
