In tin's lesson we behold the Lord sitting
down with his disciples under the old dispen¬
sation to celebrate its last Passover, and
arising from the table under the new dispen¬
sation, with the Lord’s supper instituted.
There is a point in this lesson which marks
the death of the old and the birth of the new
and better economy of things.
V. 17. The Passover is called “the feast of
unleavened bread,” because leavened bread
was excluded during the whole soven days
t hat it lasted. The entire passion and death
of Christ, and many preeions truths cou
nected with his redemptive work, are sym
Idolized by the Passover.
The movement for the observance of the
Passover originated on this occasion with the
disciples. They came to Jesus asking him
where they should make preparations for its
observance. It was Jesus’custom to observe
the least. The disciples were concerned
about making ready for it. A chamber had
to bo secured; tables with couches or divans
prepared; the paschal lamb had to bo bought,
slain at t he temple between 3 and 5 o’clock
in the afternoon of Thursday, then taken to
a private dwelling and cooked; bread, bitter
herbs and wine were required. The work of
preparation was given to Peter and John.
V. 18. They were directed to gotojeru
salem, where they would meet a man bear
ing a pitcher, who would render them valu
ablo aid. The direction and subsequent
events show that Jesus was omniscient. In
t he great crowds of people that filled Jeru
*aleni, the right man would be distinguished,
The man was to be told that Jesus’“time was
at hand." Neither the disciples nor this man
understood tho deep significance of these
words, for they referred to the time of
Christ's suffering and death, by whichsouls
were to be ransomed from sin and death.
V. 19. Tt was a blind sort of errand upon
which the disciples were to go. They asked
no questions, but in full faith on Christ's
wore! they went. We, like these disciples,
and like Abraham, are bidden of God to do
things which our reason cannot understand.
Faith, however, goes forward.
V. 20,21. The paschal lamb was killed
about 3 o’clock in the afternoon, and was
eaten after t he setting of the sun, and often
in the night. Originally the supper was
taken standing. In time the reclimng post¬
ure, a* at ot her meals, was Adopted. John
occupied the place next to Jesus, and Juda9
may have Ixvn on the other side of him.
Our Lord and the twelve disciples were a
full paschal company, ten persons was the
minimum number. As they were taking
tlieir places at the table a strife arose among
1 hem as to who should be greatest In con¬
sequence of this, at the time for the washing
of hands, Jesus arose from the table and
washed his disciples* feet, teaching them a
lesson of humility.
V. 22. The effect of the announcement
upon the disciples is described in this verse.
V. 23. “The Jews, at the Passover, used a
bitter sauce, made of bunches of raisins.
mixed with vinegar and other seasoning,
which they said represented the clay which
their fathers were compelled to use in Egypt
Lnss ^Ther^w^
ably the dish to which reference is here
m< ie k
V “The Son of Man goeth.” Among
the Hebrews the expression ; ‘inan goetb”
■msuit ■l«*th. Hence Jesus states that he
will die in tullillnient of prophecy, and that
while life death was not the result of acci
dent, there was still a terrible punishment
to be meted out to his betrayer. If it bo
asked how the crime of Judas is so great
when it was determined beforehand that
Jesus should be betrayed, it may be an¬
swered: 1st. The previous purpose of God
did not force Judas. He acted freely. He
did what his own wicked heart prompted
him. 2d. The crime was what it was in
itself apart from any determination of God.
3d. A previous knowledge of a thing does
not alter its nature. 4th. God, who is the
best judge of the nature of the crime, holds
all that was done in crucifying the Saviour
to be by wicked hands, Acts ii, 23. Sinners
cannot take shelter for their sins in the de¬
crees of God, or plead them as excuses. God
will punish crimes for what they are in
themselves.
V.25. To ward off suspicion, Judas nerved
himself to break his silence, and asks this
shameful question. The others had in lov
ing reverence said, “Lord, is it I?” Judas
uses the more formal title, “Master, is it If*
The straw tells which way the wind blows.
V. 20. Sometime during the feast, Jesus,
took the thin cake of unleavened bread, and
as was the wise and pious custom, “blessed
it,” or gave thanks. The breaking of the
oread was intended to represent how Christ’s
body would be broken and bruised for our
gins. “This is my body.” The bread was to
remind them of him, and the sufferings and
death he should so soon endure.
, V. 27. After the regular Passover was con
eluded the Lord’s Supper was instituted. The
first communicants were very imperfect men.
Poor, unlearned, weak in faith, they still
loved Jesus. They knew very little about the
frailty of their own hearts. They thought
they were willing to die for Christ and yet
that very night they all forsook him and fled.
Peter, their spokesman, denied him with
oaths, that night. How merciful the Lord
, was in giving the elements to such! No
{ j graceless person should come to the Lord’s
Supper. But we must at the same time not
j ! love reject Jesus? whom That, Christ the would receive. Do we
is main question.
! V. 28. The “cup” was the type or emblem
of his blood, his life, which he laid down as
J the atonement for sin.
j V. 29. The Lord is done with earthly
'rites, and at once points to the marriage
j supper of the Lamb. The Passover supper
sublimed the Lord’s Supper, this in its turn
,
shall be glorified iuto the marriage supper of
the Lamb. There is a day coming when a
feast table shall be spread for Christ and all
his people, when t hey shall share with him
triumphs, honors and happiness. The Lord’s
supper, coming down through the ages, is ir¬
refragable proof of the life and death of
Christ. It looks not ouly backward, but for
ward to his second coming.
V. 30. After the prayer recorded in John
xvii they “sung a hymn.” Thus our Lord
sanctioned and sanctified church psalmody.
