The Night of Trials

As Passover approaches, religious leaders conspire to kill Jesus and Judas Iscariot agrees to betray him. Jesus prepares the Passover meal, institutes the Lord's Supper—breaking bread as his body and sharing the cup as the new covenant sealed by his blood—and foretells his betrayal and Peter's coming denials. He calls his followers to servant leadership, warns of the coming spiritual testing, and urges preparedness amid trials, pointing forward to his sacrificial death as the true Passover lamb and the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan.
