Was adding that this afternoon we will be hearing a sermon from
Reverend WWJ Van Owen. He already passed and he's now
with the Lord. Long 2013 Palang.
But until now we are still blessed with his preachings.
So before we proceed with our sermon delivery, let us bow to
the Lord in prayer. Blessed Lord, who has caused
Holy Scripture to be written for our learning, Grant that we may
hear, read, learn and inwardly digest them, that through the
comfort of Your Holy Word we may embrace and ever hold fast the
blessed hope of everlasting life which You have given us in our
Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
So you're adding preaching for this afternoon is about the
Lord's Supper. You've been as apunak in Kanina
yung Lord's Day 28. It's about the institution of
the Lord's Supper at it apply Hindi accidente that this
morning we just partake in the Lord's Table.

So beloved congregation. It was night.
It was night when the Lord bless the bread and the wine.
It was actually the night of his betrayal.
That night he was with all of his disciples.

Only the true disciples are there.

Universal would not be inside. Look 22.
It says there that it is the night of the Passover.
It is the night where the Israelites killed the Passover
lamb, and it's the night of the last legitimate Lord's Supper.
I mean the the last legitimate Passover don't pass over NATO
because in this Passover and in the institution of the Lord's
Supper, we can see the Lamb of God eating the Lamb of the
Passover Peru celebration and pass overnight.
Although it was hosted by Jesus Christ Hindi pussy Jesus Christ
and we are in Lugar Hindi quinella, but actually look 22
earlier that morning in the two Sonny Jesus question that was a
disciple see Peter at Sijan now city that pussy le Dong isang

celebrate the master and a minion Passover and then they
will be led to the upper room. Constant Ponila Gagan opinion.
It was not difficult for Peter and John to find this man that
he'll una una. It's because of the Providence
of God Capital of Nigeria Salem. If they are guided by the
Providence of God Kahitna ilang Li bonta opang najar mahanap.
Plus, it's also not difficult to find that man because it's
unusual for a man during the time of Jesus to carry a jar of
water. Jar of water, it is usually a
task of a woman. Kapu, Matatan Daniel.

But they were able to find that man, and they were able to find
a place at Tangina, Rapini, Peter and John, pioneer paper go
in Paris, a celebration of Passover.
And then later on that night, the disciples Casamassa, Judas.
That's all back to sunny Jesus. See Peter at Sijan not prepare
your place. Tapos may sign Academy Hawking
jar, even the samasama kawala anpa which habini Reverend van
Owen. Perhaps that was a precautionary
measure. Why?
Because the Passover wherein all families are celebrating in
their own homes, now Makasama must be a perfect time for the
Romans to arrest Jesus. Dial me less commotion.
Dial Jesus. Yeah, unnecessarily Passover and
they will not violate the sanctity of that ceremony.
Parallel also Jesus Christ. They will not do that.
Here we can see that God or Jesus will not allow a premature
arrest. Kaya Gumawa Shankara and para I
am Passover meal even see Judas Judas your nan maga Judas kasama
you manga soldiers para arrested in Jesus.
But Jesus won't allow that because he needs time to explain
to his disciples what will happen to him.
He needs time to institute the Lord's Table so that his
disciples will be strengthened and as they are gathered in the
table. Jesus dipped the morsel of bread
to a bitter herbs and he gave it to Judas.
Judas, what you are planning to do, do it now.
And brothers and sisters, it was night when that happened.
But the darkness in the heart of Judas, it's darker than the
night of that time. Kasama babasa punat induna Satan
completely possessed Judas and then Judas left the place and
then he went into the alleys of Jerusalem para Punta.
Later on, if Wakanda, Luna, cities, Christ and then passing
have been attended to, that Satan has completely possessed
Judas. Nagbago, Ichiran, Judas, the
neglect, Judas, Tapas the world see you dancing.
Satan has totally possessed Judas, but no sinabit in
Scripture that Satan has completely possessed Judas, it
means that Satan totally possessed the heart of Judas.
He occupied the heart of Judas to the point that there is no
room for anyone else, even for Jesus.
So there is no room for Jesus in the heart of Judas.
And are you holding dinner or you holling mill neelam
makakasama? Jesus is not in the heart of
Judas because the only thing that occupied the heart of Judas
is the wicked plan of Zeta and then so publicity Judas Atanga
Trematon disciples and then after that I'm strange thing
Nababasa Nathans look 2722 Kanina is that Jesus told his
disciples that he looked forward to this meal that he decided to
have this meal with his disciples and Bachcha IBA
because Jesus fully knew that after that he will die and that
Hindi Lang shamama Tai nang painless death, but he will die
a very cruel and violent death. And then on the cross, Hindi
alpina hamala Ladon, is your physical suffering Napada irony,
Jesus say. But on the cross, the wrath of
God will fall upon him, and he will tell the Father, My God, my
God, why have you forsaken me? Because on that cross, Jesus
will be forsaken by the Father, because He who knew no sin will
become sin on our behalf, and He will be treated like a criminal,
even though He did not do even a single sin.
Accountability. Big suppressor diva these young

anymore. You said that penalty lethal

That is the last meal that they will have the puba better you

afterwards they cannot even eat some of them Magsuka, some of
them will become uneasy, they will not appreciate or lithium
baby because they will die. But here is where we can admire
the character of our Lord, that even though he is faced with the
reality of his suffering, he handled that suffering with
grace at an initial parin, even Salas moment.

character in grace during the Passover meal.
He saw it with his very own eyes, the the Passover lamb.
It's it's in front of him at alumna.
In a few hours, he will be just like that lamb.
He will be lifeless. He will be dead.
And then, while he was sitting in that table, she thought about
the blood that was poured out in the course of centuries, in the
course of history. Yougunna Mangalam flow every
time the sun celebrate and Passover, knowing that it is His
blood that will be shed later that morning and back it.
Now Jesus Christ is looking forward to this meal.
So while they are eating, Jesus took the bread and he blessed
the bread and he distributed it to the disciples.
Chapati Kappa gumha in tayo kelechi nagpuri Sam pesaba saget
nanam pagaya no pagkatapos Hindi tayo bago tayo kumain Hindi.
But Jesus Christ. He blessed the bread in the
middle of the meal. Then said Andy brother Ed
Bananaman at the start of the meal casino basanet in Kanina
that they were already eating and Jesus get a morsel of bread.
He depicted A bitter herbs at binigay Naki Judas.
So it's the middle of the meal. It's not the start of the meal.
So indeed Amandine peppering Sabina and Kalimutan Jesus smoke
Pray that was pray muna tayo Hindi.
Because even in the feeding of the 5000 tighten up our kayotic
nang situation, Jesus did not forget to give thanks to the
Father first. So it's inconceivable for our
Master to forget to pray before he eats.
But this is intentional. Narayana been less young, bred
in the middle of the meal because something new is about
to happen. Something new, yet it is
something old. Dahil you in institute the
cries, young Lord. Supper and dynamic young
elements Ditto. I bread and wine.
Bread in wine in the past over so indeed, and it was a bread in
bread and wine in any other meal.
Indeed, Guyana or disciples and then institute for Lord's
Supper. It's not like that.
And that it is the Passover. So the bread and the wine of the
Passover are the bread and the wine that was blessed by Jesus
in the middle of the meal afternoon.
Ginagawan Jesus done. A Ginagawan Jesus done is that
he is creating a bond, a connection between a practice
that they were practicing for centuries past and that is the
Passover at the Coconut Neon Salord Supper or Salord Stable.
And why is that? Because the Passover will be
fulfilled in His person. And then after this meal, the
people of God will still use the bread and the wine, but not in
the same way anymore that Emma is relates.
When they eat the bread and they and the wine, they look back to
the situation in the past. They were liberated from the
slavery in Egypt, so that is the meaning of the bread and the
wine and the lamb as well. But from now on, after the
institution of the Lord's Supper, they will eat the same
bread and wine, but not to look back to their salvation from the
slavery in Egypt, but from the salvation of mankind from their
sin. Because after that Jesus will
shed His blood for the remission of the sin of mankind.
And then aside from blessing the bread, He also blessed the a
chunk up neon not been lesna in the transition from Old
Testament dispensation to the New Testament dispensation.
And we know what the meaning of that cup is, the cup of the
covenant. It signifies the blood of Jesus
Christ. But a few hours later, Ethan
Blood, Natalie, Mariquita, Nathan coming out from the sweat
glands of Jesus Christ, because during the the prayer in
Getsemani, he will sweat like big droplets of blood.
And then later on that day his blood will flow more profusely
because his skin will be opened by the scourging, by the crown
of torrents, by the nails that will thrust through his hands
and his feet, and then finally by the spear that will trust
through his side. I think Jesus is He is preparing
his disciples for this violent end of his Pelham Bilangan
Mahapatra. He's not only preparing his
disciple from his end or from his death, but he is also
assuring them that his death will not be in vain.
He meaning at all nowhere but that His being that His death
would mean that from now on the elements will make them look
back to the remission of the sin of mankind, because the blood of
Christ will pay for the sin of the world and don't pose a
scenario. Nabina basa Nathan even saw
Heidelberg catechism and explained pulsating denying
institution of the Lord's Supper.
Sound wording includes the Apostle Paul Namibia based
Gospel of Matthew and that is that the sacrifice of Christ
will be for the benefit of many. It will be for the benefit of
many. That's why the people of God,
the Christians, should take heart.
However, in that room, does it look like it's for the benefit
of many having any institution Lord Supper having any explained

they they will go to the garden of Getsemani for Jesus to pray
Kenya, Peru after punya. And then later on that the thing
Nagari Susanna and the Corona commotion.
But then after that, lazy lasagna.
And yet the benefit of the Lord's Supper is for the many.
And then Jesus Christ will be brought to the kangaroo court,

That's that are as many as the sands in the Bay in the sea, and

let Nung Pinagaralan out in Canada institution of the Lord's
Supper, but again, let us all believe that promise that it is
for the benefit of the many, even though we cannot see it
right now. And then when Jesus bless the
bread and the wine, he told his disciples, Eat this and drink
this in remembrance of me, Parama Alalani Lasik cries.
In other words, Jesus Christ is establishing a memorial.
And this is very common in Old Testament Israel.
Napaki ginagawa ASI God they sang mighty works.
Naglalagay Memorial Isang Bato or Isang object God Sanila.
And it is it's the same thing again, Jesus Christ.
But the memorial that Jesus Christ is trying to establish is
unlike the memorials that the the dictators and the leaders of
this world are establishing. And you might dictate or someone
leader some super powers because of their their pride, they will
ask their servants to make statutes of themselves.
The Gaasa gold saffrons a silver yet Gwaza battle para makilala

But then this memorials are not permanent because after the term
of this dictators, another dictator will come and that
dictator will remove or will destroy their memorial only to
be replaced by their own memorial.
So like in Amangani so well. And a dictator.

But that is unlike the memorial of Christ, because the memorial

are strengthened, we are nourished diploma, because it is
our bread and which is the food and the drink of our soul.
Hindi Lovato something now title in the course of history, but
it's something that strengthens us spiritually in morial NATO

But when we say in the Bible to remember, it doesn't only mean
to recall nothing, to recall exercise brain 1000 years ago
Natixis has been approaches across OK, I I can't remember
that that's not what memorial means, that that's not what
remembrance means. But in the Bible, when we say
remembrance, apart from recalling a particular event, it
calls us to a particular action. And what is that action?
That action by friends is rejoicing.
It is rejoicing. That's why, again, just early
this morning, we took the the bread and the wine, the game
partition and Lord's Table. Did we just remind ourselves
that at one point of history Christ died on the cross or
Nutanix Nation rejoicings at Let us examine ourselves.
Are we participating in the Lord's Supper just to
participate in a mechanical ceremony, or do we still
understand the the meaning of this sacrament?
Because if we really understand the meaning of this sacrament,
my brothers and sisters, we do not just recall.
We do not just remember, but we rejoice.
Dahil may meaningful young bread and young wine, and at the
moment when he blessed the bread, and when he gave thanks
for the cup, our Saviour was still standing before the most
bitter episode of his suffering. He was, however, already
convinced of the victory that he would obtain, and the shadows
came to an end in a new era began.

It's too much for one family. The Himalayan your family

But the point is they are celebrating the Passover in the
comfort of their private residences.
But the Lord's upraised not like that because the Lord's Table is
not celebrated by individual families, but it is celebrated
by the family and that is the family of God at Makasama
Haddon. And even though having the Lord
stopper happy new month that you begin your, we are not
considered as separate units or separate families.
Yes, the church is composed of different families, but All in
all we are just one family. And when we come to the Lord's
Table, we participate as one body, one family and that's what
makes the difference. That's what makes the
difference. So that is the monument which
Christ has left behind. It is a living monument.
It is the table of communion, of the communion with Him and
through Him, of the communion with one another.
It is the guarantee of the unity with Him and thus the unity with
one another. So, brothers and sisters,
beloved, let us celebrate the Passover.
Let us celebrate the Holy Supper and thus be refreshed as we wait
for the coming of our King. Let us all pray our merciful
God, who is pleased to condescend, to speak to us
through Your Word. Grant us all grace that we may
not be mere hearers of Your Word, but do worse.
Also give us the grace of Your Holy Spirit that we may believe
what has been proclaimed to us. May we bring glory and honour to
Your name in all that we do as You conform us to the image of
Your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, and all of this gracious Father,
we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
