Last Thursday evening, we presented The Living Lord's Supper. This was the first time I had ever seen this shared in church. I must say in every respect, it exceeded my expectations. I was impressed by it's message, the commitment of those men to memorize all those lines, the soloists, the AV crew, and of course, the director.
I don't know why this isn't done more often in churches. That meal was the last one that our Lord had with His disciples. As you know, they were celebrating the Passover, and during that meal, Jesus summed up thousands of years of teaching by showing us that the Passover was about Him all along. God had manipulated history, spoke through the prophets, declared the Law at Sinai in a way that pointed directly to the last declaration of our Lord during that meal.
In case anyone would ever miss the message of the cross, His words would instruct and enlighten anyone who wondered what His sacrifice meant. As the lamb slaughtered as the sacrifice that would cover and protect any who believe from the judgment to come.
That was what our Lord showed us during the Passover in the upper room. The Last Supper was to the cross as the ULTRA was to the coded messages of the Germans during WWII. It broke the code.
