05 - (Thursday) The Last Supper
June 26, 2011 • Pastor Ronald H. Gann
In the upper room with his disciples, on the last night of his life, Christ ended the Passover and instituted a new memorial to himself--traditionally known as the Lord's Supper. This new memorial would not look back to a lamb slaughtered in Egypt as the symbol of God’s redeeming love and power, however, but would instead point to the very Lamb of God himself, who, by the shedding of his sacrificial blood, took away the sins of the world. In that one meal Jesus both terminated the old and inaugurated the new.
In this climactic conclusion to his two-year study on the major events in the life of Christ, Pastor Ronald H. Gann examines each day of the Lord’s final week on earth.
