John 13:15-17 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than His master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
Passover is so much more than celebrating the moment of transition from slavery to freedom for the nation of Israel. Moses was chosen to lead these people and God designed and led his life events to prepare him for this momentous endeavor. For months prior to Passover God had been revealing to all Egyptians and Hebrews; He was more wise and powerful that the gods they worshiped. God was meticulously, with precision, setting the foundation for great prosperity through provision and protection. These blessings came with growth in knowing God’s character and understanding His upside down Kingdom.
The annual Passover meal was and still is, so much more than the remembrance of a night. It is a return to God’s faithfulness then, so that we may know and stand strong in His faithfulness now.
What was the bottom line in the last supper? Jesus was demonstrating service to the Kingdom through kindness, patience and love to all those God’s had given Him, beginning with those closest to Him, His family and dearest friends. This moment was full of deep theology and poignant, breath taking, sharing of life’s most important choice, come or stay. You have a standing invitation so don’t refuse..….come to the table.
