Christ continues to advance redemptive history as He transforms the Passover meal into the Lord's Supper, a sacrament which continues to connect His people to both the past and the future. Christ feeds His people to prepare them for the night of testing, that they may prevail not because of their ability but because of His provision. In the story God tells, the way to life is through death. The way to day is through the night. The way to gathering is through scattering. There is no way for us to navigate this on our own; we will invariably lose heart and fail. In His kind pleasure, Christ's courage is more contagious than our cowardice, and He is able His people through. We must acknowledge our weakness and lay hold of Jesus Christ, who is our wisdom, our righteousness, our sanctification, and redemption. Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord (1 Cor. 1:30, 31).
