Closing Thought: The final Passover meal for God's people, remembering their deliverance from God's wrath by the blood of a spotless lamb, and their exodus from slavery in Egypt, was eaten on the night before Jesus would become the sacrificial Lamb of God, Who would shed His blood to usher in the new and better Covenant. From that day forward, God's people have a new meal that we partake of, the Lord's Supper, in which we remember the body given and the blood shed to accomplish our redemption as God's people. We remember the new and better exodus, the new and better Covenant, the ultimate sacrifice for sins. We remember Christ Jesus our Lord and will continue this meal of remembrance until He returns to feast with us in glory. Amen and Amen! Come Lord Jesus!

Closing Thought: There is much for us to learn from Judas' betrayal, Pharaoh's hardening, and Esau's forfeiture. While there is nothing that comes to pass that God did not decree, ("There is not one random molecule in all the universe." – RC Sproul) as He is sovereign over all events for all time. We must remember that even though we cannot see the reasons, we can trust His plan is perfect and good. However, even though God is sovereign, there is no one who will be able to stand before God with the excuse "the Devil made me do it". And it will not go well for the man who stands before God and claims that is His fault for the sinful choices he has made. Do not be confused; God's sovereignty does not take away the responsibility for the choices that we make. Full stop!

Closing Thought: It was time for the Passover Lamb to be killed, and His blood to be shed for the forgiveness of sins once for all. Beloved, we remember the Lamb had to be killed, His blood shed to protect us from the wrath of God. And while our salvation is immediate, yet there remains a journey ahead of us filled with trials and temptations before we reach heaven. So we remember, we will stay hidden in Christ and covered by His blood.

Closing Thought: The destruction of Jerusalem, the Temple, and of Judaism was the beginning of the end. When that prophecy was fulfilled in AD 70, the second coming of Christ can come at any time. We must always be awake and praying that we will have the strength to stand before the Son of Man.
