The last request of Jesus before He died was that we keep the Lord's Supper in remembrance of Him. II. The reason He asked us to observe the Lord's Supper is because He wanted us to remember Him. He knew how apt selfish people would be to forget Him and his great sacrifice for us. He knew that people would focus on other things about him rather than on his shed blood, his broken body, and his death. The Lord's Supper is designed to draw us away from our selfish tendency to make Jesus our genie in a bottle, or our guardian angel, or our good luck charm, instead of the One who died for our sins.

As the Israelites had to not just pray, but actually leave Egypt and continually follow Moses together; so we today must not just pray the sinner's prayer, but must actually leave our sins and continually follow Jesus together.

Because of Jesus' selfless service to mankind, I must turn to Him for eternal salvation and the power to live in service of His Kingdom.

1 Corinthians 5:7-8 "Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth."

Sermon Title: Betrayal and True Leadership Theme: The greedy and boastful betray the Lord, while the humble lead by serving His people. Judas's greed & love of money lead him to betray Christ and receive judgment. (21-23) Christ teaches that true leadership is humble service that endures trials. (24-30) Christ warns that boastful Peter will deny Him, but promises to bring Peter back to faithful service. (31-34)

God Comes to Man_04PT3 John 1:29-34The ministry of John was that of a forerunner. He came on the scene, prophesying that One would come who would baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire. This would be the One who would be so great that John would not be worthy even to loosen His sandal. As our passage opens, John sees Jesus coming. From where is He coming?I want to suggest that He had been in the wilderness. It had been 40 days since John had baptized Jesus. Since that time, Jesus had been in the wilderness, being tempted by the devil. Jesus was the fulfillment of all of the sacrifices of the Old Testament. He was the true Lamb of God. His death was able to put an end to sin in a way.

What can we learn from the Law? Some say that it doesn't apply to us anymore, but it's in Scripture for a reason. We consider it as we continue our trek through the Old Testament, finishing out the Torah in this session.

Luke 22:8-20 – Betrayal, Passover, Exodus, Communion – Sermon Outline Intro: The faithful are always persecuted by the compromised and wicked. Christ is the ultimate example. Need: Be faithful, despite hardship and hostility, and the wicked plotting, seeing we have communion with God through the blood of Christ in heaven above, victorious over all the wiles of the devil. Theme: Christ our Passover brings us into heavenly communion In His kingdom. The Passover in the upper room reveals the vertical Exodus from earth to heaven for God's people in Christ. A Glimpse of the Beatific Vision in the Old Testament/Moses and in Luke/Mt. of Transfiguration. Application

When God brought the Israelites out of Egypt, he didn't lead them by the shortest route to reach Canaan. Instead, he led them through the wilderness by a pillar of cloud and fire. This seems rather odd and unnecessary, so why did it happen this way? Perhaps it a test by God, or maybe a time of trust for the Israelites, or it could be that this was meant to set up the scene for a final judgement on Pharoah's unrepentant heart. Additionally, they brought Joseph's bones out of Egypt when they left. Why?

Joseph was sold for pieces of silver, another type of Jesus found in his life story as we see that Jesus was sold for pieces of silver and the Prophet Zechariah foretold the exact amount. The Bible is like no other and tells us about a Saviour like no other! Also Reference: Matthew 26:15, Zechariah 11:12, Hebrews 10:7, John 5:30 https://bbfohio.com
