"Exploring the redemptive bond between the Passover and the Lord\'s Supper."
Recorded on: Sunday, 11/10/2019 at 10:00 AM
Description:
Delivered during the Sunday morning worship service, 11/10/2019. On the night He was arrested, Jesus observed the Passover meal with His disciples and instituted the Christian sacrament we call "The Lord's Supper". But what was the significance of the original feast? Is their a connection between the Passover and our relationship with Christ as expressed in the sacrament of Communion? We will explore this profound subject by focusing on just two words: hopelessness and deliverance. For both the Passover and the Lord's Supper were designed to commemorate times in Redemptive History when these two ideas were being realized. In this message, we will compare both the hopelessness and deliverance of the Children of Israel (as seen through the eyes of a young boy) during the time of the Exodus, and our own hopelessness and deliverance as sinners saved by the sacrificial Crosswork of Christ. Ultimately, the objective of this message is to heighten our sense of reverence, awe and appreciation as we approach the table of Communion as those who have been delivered from utter hopelessness.
