Celebrating Deliverance
Luke 22:7-23
Luke 22 places Jesus and His disciples at the Passover table—a meal built around remembrance, preparation, and hope. For Israel, Passover marked a decisive act of deliverance from slavery and reshaped their calendar, identity, and future. Now, on the eve of the cross, Jesus fulfills that story. The true Passover Lamb is present. Before His body is broken and His blood shed, He institutes a new meal—one that looks back to the cross, nourishes the present church, and points forward to the coming Kingdom. The Lord’s Supper is not accidental or casual; it is deliberate, covenantal, and loaded with gospel meaning.
BIG IDEA: The Lord’s Supper is a family celebration of deliverance received—and deliverance yet to come.
