THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 71: The Last Passover |
|
|
Jesus left Jerusalem on Monday night of the Passover
Week and stayed in the house of a former leper. During the evening
meal, a woman came with an alabaster box and poured an expensive
liquid on His head. This act of love greatly upset the apostles
because they considered it a waste of money. Judas had already met
with the religious leadership and agreed to betray the God-man for
$265 in silver. Tuesday was the Passover and Jesus ate the meal with
the apostles in the upper room of a supporter. The ritualistic meal
dated back two millennia when the pre-incarnated Jesus instituted it
with Moses prior to the exodus from Egypt. The Creator expressing
His yearning to take part in this final ritual with the apostles
said, “With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you.” It
was eaten under the auspices of the First Covenant and Jesus
converted it into what would become known as Communion. |
