About this sermon

It is now Thursday night. Jesus will be betrayed and arrested this night. He will be taken through appearances before the religious leaders of the Jews that represent a travesty and a mockery. The next day He will appear before Pilate, and then Herod, and then Pilate again, and will be condemned and then He will be crucified. The stage is set. The Lamb of God, the one who lays His life down, the one who is perfectly submitted to His Father, the Sovereign One who is guiding all of these events, is now putting a close on entire era and instituting a new one. Before us in these events we have the last legitimate Passover observance under the old covenant and the institution of the Lord's Supper. We have the promise of the end of the Old Covenant and the ratification of the New Covenant in the blood of Jesus.
