Memorial Sunday finds us studying the Passover, which contained “the me- morial idea’ that is “found as early as the Book of the Covenant It marked the commencement of the naiion's life for the Jewish people, recailing that night when it was instituted in Egyp when Jehovah passed by the blood- marked houses of Israel. i tans in their observance of this feast preserve in their ritusl “the sprinkling of blood and the eating with signs of haste,” that marked its origin at the commencement of the nation's leaving Egypt. It recalled the end of the days of the nation's servitude and the com- mencement of their freedom as & peo- ple. Jesus saw in the annual observ- ance of their feast a prophecy of His crucifixion, yet His heart wes filled with joy, as He came to, observe this national memorial with its symbolical sacrificial meaning to Himself. His clash with the ecclesiastical au- thorities had brought to a head the in- tense feeling that they had entertained in recent months against Christ Jesus. The Lord knew what was going to hap- pen at that feast. He was familiar with the attitude of Judas, who had criticized the anointment of the Master with the precious ointment, ciaiming that it should have been sold and placed in the treasury to be disposed of by him in the care of the poor. Christ's defense of the woman's gift filled Judas with the determination to arrange with the Lord's enemies for the betrayal of the Master. This may account for the fact that the aposties did not know where the Lord planned to observe the Pass- over. He had made secret arrange- ments with an unknown friend for the observance of the Passover at his home. Back of the success of most men is the influence of some unknown friends, whose life, labor and love have molded his character and career. Jesus Wes no exception to that fact. He had evi dently secretly srranged with an un- Was | named friend for the observance of the feast and for him to send not a woman, who usually are the carriers of the wa- ter in the Near East, but a man with a waterpot at a definite hour. He could be easily recognised and serve as a guide for toe two apostles, who had been selected to prepare the Passover for the apostolic brotherhond. Preparing the Passover. They followed the man camying the | water jar and found the friend with arranged whom the Lord had for the use of the upper room for the observ- ance of the Passover. This caution prevented Judas betraying the Master earlier than he did. None of the - | aposties knew where they would observe t until they arrived at the home (';'(le'.’he:'\lnmwn ’mmd. which in all probability was the upper room that is shown y to tourists in Jerusalem 2s the place where the Lord and the 12 met to the historic deliver- ance of T o UD.:I-“M h'.hc room with its tables and couches upon which they reclined while eating. All that the two aposties had to do after locating the place that had been previously arranged for lined in ready for the feast required ihem to select and kill the lamb, prepare the unleavened bread, see that the jug of was the iable, and the cup. ::::(h-r with some bitter herbs and sauce. When the sposties and the Master | t | of privacy, was the unknown friend at the door. Jesus had looked forward with at joy to that hour, when for the time and the last He was privileged to observe the feast that recalled their national deliverance from the bondage of Egypt and prophesied the salvation of all men through the death of our Lord upon the cross. The Prophetic Supper. It was a family feas:. Usually the father presided, but at the observance assover supper the Master pre- sided. bfle Dmblblyn opened lfimomr\s ance by saying, “Blessed be ou, Lord, our God, King of the world, who hast created the fruit of the vine.” The dish of bitter herbs, which were dipped into & sauce that had been made out of almonds, nuts, figs and other frults “mixed with a reddish and sweet liquid,” was intended to set forth the color of the bricks in the making of which their bondage had been s0 bit- ter, and yet by its taste suggesting some allevations which God 'ways sends with His bitterest dispensations. Then a second cup was passed arqund in con- nection with which the mnnm%lo( the feast was explained. Then the un- leavened bread “dipped in the sauce” was passed to each person at the table with a “piece of lJamb which was roast- ed with fire; this was done with the giving of thanks.” The lamb was the principal dish, but bread and bitter herbs, dipped in the sauce, were eaten with it. ‘Then followed the third cup that was called the “cup of blessing.” The feast was ended with the fourth cup, when the cxi-cxvill Psalms were sung. We do not know whether Jesus ob- served all the ritualistic formality of the Passover or not. In each of the first three gospels and in Paul's epistle we have accounts of the way the Master observed this Passover, and John gives a record of some of the things the Lord spoke on that night when He tried to prepare His disciples for His approach- ing death. They were all filled with horror when he predicted His end and announced that one of their number had betrayed Him. He took advantage of that solemn hour and symbolical feast to institute a simple ordinance that would serve to commemoraty His death throughout the ages until He re- turns. Lord’s Supper Instituted. Probably they had about reached the moment when they would sing the Hal- lel, the ims just mentioned, when He took from the table the bread and wine, pointed out their significant mes- sage to the spiritual organization that He had established to carry on His work after He by His death had ful- filled the prophecies of the Passover. It was to take the place in the church that the Passover had occupled in the life of the Jewish people. He breathed into the simplest things of ‘their daily meal yital meaning that would serve to recall to His disciples the place that His death should hoid in their thought and life. He wanted the bread of which He sald, “This is My body,” should recall the sacrifice of His life that was foretold in the Passover, and should always be remembéred by them as a memorial of the gift of sal- for a sinful world. The cup of wine, He told them, meant “This is the new testament in My blood which is shed for you,” and which was essential to our redemption. Through the centuries that have passed, the followers of the Lord Jesus have in their communion recalled His ice that provided for them a salvation. We recall this unique memo- rial of our Master when we observe the institution thai He established so that men would have their faith, hope and Jove developed in observing the divinely Im.suwwd supper that He commanded PENTECOST TO BE.
