“The Institution of the Lord's Supper” (Heidelberg Catechism LD 28)

Was adding that this afternoon we will be hearing a sermon from

Reverend WWJ Van Owen. He already passed and he's now

with the Lord. Long 2013 Palang.

But until now we are still blessed with his preachings.

So before we proceed with our sermon delivery, let us bow to

the Lord in prayer. Blessed Lord, who has caused

Holy Scripture to be written for our learning, Grant that we may

hear, read, learn and inwardly digest them, that through the

comfort of Your Holy Word we may embrace and ever hold fast the

blessed hope of everlasting life which You have given us in our

Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

So you're adding preaching for this afternoon is about the

Lord's Supper. You've been as apunak in Kanina

yung Lord's Day 28. It's about the institution of

the Lord's Supper at it apply Hindi accidente that this

morning we just partake in the Lord's Table.

So beloved congregation. It was night.

It was night when the Lord bless the bread and the wine.

It was actually the night of his betrayal.

That night he was with all of his disciples.

Pero miniature. Yeah, not before Massimiliano,

institution of the Lord's Supper.

Only the true disciples are there.

Daphne go in and that night is no ordinary night.

Universal would not be inside. Look 22.

It says there that it is the night of the Passover.

It is the night where the Israelites killed the Passover

lamb, and it's the night of the last legitimate Lord's Supper.

I mean the the last legitimate Passover don't pass over NATO

because in this Passover and in the institution of the Lord's

Supper, we can see the Lamb of God eating the Lamb of the

Passover Peru celebration and pass overnight.

Although it was hosted by Jesus Christ Hindi pussy Jesus Christ

and we are in Lugar Hindi quinella, but actually look 22

earlier that morning in the two Sonny Jesus question that was a

disciple see Peter at Sijan now city that pussy le Dong isang

Latin and we have major and then it will lead them to a place

place sasabihin namanga disciple sample dito yung logarithms and

celebrate the master and a minion Passover and then they

will be led to the upper room. Constant Ponila Gagan opinion.

It was not difficult for Peter and John to find this man that

he'll una una. It's because of the Providence

of God Capital of Nigeria Salem. If they are guided by the

Providence of God Kahitna ilang Li bonta opang najar mahanap.

Plus, it's also not difficult to find that man because it's

unusual for a man during the time of Jesus to carry a jar of

water. Jar of water, it is usually a

task of a woman. Kapu, Matatan Daniel.

But they were able to find that man, and they were able to find

a place at Tangina, Rapini, Peter and John, pioneer paper go

in Paris, a celebration of Passover.

And then later on that night, the disciples Casamassa, Judas.

That's all back to sunny Jesus. See Peter at Sijan not prepare

your place. Tapos may sign Academy Hawking

jar, even the samasama kawala anpa which habini Reverend van

Owen. Perhaps that was a precautionary

measure. Why?

Because the Passover wherein all families are celebrating in

their own homes, now Makasama must be a perfect time for the

Romans to arrest Jesus. Dial me less commotion.

Dial Jesus. Yeah, unnecessarily Passover and

they will not violate the sanctity of that ceremony.

Parallel also Jesus Christ. They will not do that.

Here we can see that God or Jesus will not allow a premature

arrest. Kaya Gumawa Shankara and para I

am Passover meal even see Judas Judas your nan maga Judas kasama

you manga soldiers para arrested in Jesus.

But Jesus won't allow that because he needs time to explain

to his disciples what will happen to him.

He needs time to institute the Lord's Table so that his

disciples will be strengthened and as they are gathered in the

table. Jesus dipped the morsel of bread

to a bitter herbs and he gave it to Judas.

Judas, what you are planning to do, do it now.

And brothers and sisters, it was night when that happened.

But the darkness in the heart of Judas, it's darker than the

night of that time. Kasama babasa punat induna Satan

completely possessed Judas and then Judas left the place and

then he went into the alleys of Jerusalem para Punta.

Later on, if Wakanda, Luna, cities, Christ and then passing

have been attended to, that Satan has completely possessed

Judas. Nagbago, Ichiran, Judas, the

neglect, Judas, Tapas the world see you dancing.

Satan has totally possessed Judas, but no sinabit in

Scripture that Satan has completely possessed Judas, it

means that Satan totally possessed the heart of Judas.

He occupied the heart of Judas to the point that there is no

room for anyone else, even for Jesus.

So there is no room for Jesus in the heart of Judas.

And are you holding dinner or you holling mill neelam

makakasama? Jesus is not in the heart of

Judas because the only thing that occupied the heart of Judas

is the wicked plan of Zeta and then so publicity Judas Atanga

Trematon disciples and then after that I'm strange thing

Nababasa Nathans look 2722 Kanina is that Jesus told his

disciples that he looked forward to this meal that he decided to

have this meal with his disciples and Bachcha IBA

because Jesus fully knew that after that he will die and that

Hindi Lang shamama Tai nang painless death, but he will die

a very cruel and violent death. And then on the cross, Hindi

alpina hamala Ladon, is your physical suffering Napada irony,

Jesus say. But on the cross, the wrath of

God will fall upon him, and he will tell the Father, My God, my

God, why have you forsaken me? Because on that cross, Jesus

will be forsaken by the Father, because He who knew no sin will

become sin on our behalf, and He will be treated like a criminal,

even though He did not do even a single sin.

Accountability. Big suppressor diva these young

afterwards they cannot even eat some of them Magsuka, some of

them will become uneasy, they will not appreciate or lithium

baby because they will die. But here is where we can admire

the character of our Lord, that even though he is faced with the

reality of his suffering, he handled that suffering with

grace at an initial parin, even Salas moment.

character in grace during the Passover meal.

He saw it with his very own eyes, the the Passover lamb.

It's it's in front of him at alumna.

In a few hours, he will be just like that lamb.

He will be lifeless. He will be dead.

And then, while he was sitting in that table, she thought about

the blood that was poured out in the course of centuries, in the

course of history. Yougunna Mangalam flow every

time the sun celebrate and Passover, knowing that it is His

blood that will be shed later that morning and back it.

Now Jesus Christ is looking forward to this meal.

So while they are eating, Jesus took the bread and he blessed

the bread and he distributed it to the disciples.

Chapati Kappa gumha in tayo kelechi nagpuri Sam pesaba saget

nanam pagaya no pagkatapos Hindi tayo bago tayo kumain Hindi.

But Jesus Christ. He blessed the bread in the

middle of the meal. Then said Andy brother Ed

Bananaman at the start of the meal casino basanet in Kanina

that they were already eating and Jesus get a morsel of bread.

He depicted A bitter herbs at binigay Naki Judas.

So it's the middle of the meal. It's not the start of the meal.

So indeed Amandine peppering Sabina and Kalimutan Jesus smoke

Pray that was pray muna tayo Hindi.

Because even in the feeding of the 5000 tighten up our kayotic

nang situation, Jesus did not forget to give thanks to the

Father first. So it's inconceivable for our

Master to forget to pray before he eats.

But this is intentional. Narayana been less young, bred

in the middle of the meal because something new is about

to happen. Something new, yet it is

something old. Dahil you in institute the

cries, young Lord. Supper and dynamic young

elements Ditto. I bread and wine.

Bread in wine in the past over so indeed, and it was a bread in

bread and wine in any other meal.

Indeed, Guyana or disciples and then institute for Lord's

Supper. It's not like that.

And that it is the Passover. So the bread and the wine of the

Passover are the bread and the wine that was blessed by Jesus

in the middle of the meal afternoon.

Ginagawan Jesus done. A Ginagawan Jesus done is that

he is creating a bond, a connection between a practice

that they were practicing for centuries past and that is the

Passover at the Coconut Neon Salord Supper or Salord Stable.

And why is that? Because the Passover will be

fulfilled in His person. And then after this meal, the

people of God will still use the bread and the wine, but not in

the same way anymore that Emma is relates.

When they eat the bread and they and the wine, they look back to

the situation in the past. They were liberated from the

slavery in Egypt, so that is the meaning of the bread and the

wine and the lamb as well. But from now on, after the

institution of the Lord's Supper, they will eat the same

bread and wine, but not to look back to their salvation from the

slavery in Egypt, but from the salvation of mankind from their

sin. Because after that Jesus will

shed His blood for the remission of the sin of mankind.

And then aside from blessing the bread, He also blessed the a

chunk up neon not been lesna in the transition from Old

Testament dispensation to the New Testament dispensation.

And we know what the meaning of that cup is, the cup of the

covenant. It signifies the blood of Jesus

Christ. But a few hours later, Ethan

Blood, Natalie, Mariquita, Nathan coming out from the sweat

glands of Jesus Christ, because during the the prayer in

Getsemani, he will sweat like big droplets of blood.

And then later on that day his blood will flow more profusely

because his skin will be opened by the scourging, by the crown

of torrents, by the nails that will thrust through his hands

and his feet, and then finally by the spear that will trust

through his side. I think Jesus is He is preparing

his disciples for this violent end of his Pelham Bilangan

Mahapatra. He's not only preparing his

disciple from his end or from his death, but he is also

assuring them that his death will not be in vain.

He meaning at all nowhere but that His being that His death

would mean that from now on the elements will make them look

back to the remission of the sin of mankind, because the blood of

Christ will pay for the sin of the world and don't pose a

scenario. Nabina basa Nathan even saw

Heidelberg catechism and explained pulsating denying

institution of the Lord's Supper.

Sound wording includes the Apostle Paul Namibia based

Gospel of Matthew and that is that the sacrifice of Christ

will be for the benefit of many. It will be for the benefit of

many. That's why the people of God,

the Christians, should take heart.

However, in that room, does it look like it's for the benefit

of many having any institution Lord Supper having any explained

Jesus Christ companionship Mamata and what is the

significance the meaning of these things Ellam Basildon Lala

the benefit of the many. And then later on that night

they they will go to the garden of Getsemani for Jesus to pray

Kenya, Peru after punya. And then later on that the thing

Nagari Susanna and the Corona commotion.

But then after that, lazy lasagna.

And yet the benefit of the Lord's Supper is for the many.

And then Jesus Christ will be brought to the kangaroo court,

it is for the many. It's for the benefit of the

then Mary the mother of Christ and a couple of women.

Yet we consider ourselves few. Peroneal promised negate Abraham

That's that are as many as the sands in the Bay in the sea, and

as many as the stars in the sky. We may not see it right now to

let Nung Pinagaralan out in Canada institution of the Lord's

Supper, but again, let us all believe that promise that it is

for the benefit of the many, even though we cannot see it

right now. And then when Jesus bless the

bread and the wine, he told his disciples, Eat this and drink

this in remembrance of me, Parama Alalani Lasik cries.

In other words, Jesus Christ is establishing a memorial.

And this is very common in Old Testament Israel.

Napaki ginagawa ASI God they sang mighty works.

Naglalagay Memorial Isang Bato or Isang object God Sanila.

And it is it's the same thing again, Jesus Christ.

But the memorial that Jesus Christ is trying to establish is

unlike the memorials that the the dictators and the leaders of

this world are establishing. And you might dictate or someone

leader some super powers because of their their pride, they will

ask their servants to make statutes of themselves.

The Gaasa gold saffrons a silver yet Gwaza battle para makilala

silla para Makita young greatness nila.

But then this memorials are not permanent because after the term

of this dictators, another dictator will come and that

dictator will remove or will destroy their memorial only to

be replaced by their own memorial.

So like in Amangani so well. And a dictator.

But As for me, I I don't feel that.

But that is unlike the memorial of Christ, because the memorial

ordinary bread and wine. When we take that memorial, we

are strengthened, we are nourished diploma, because it is

our bread and which is the food and the drink of our soul.

Hindi Lovato something now title in the course of history, but

it's something that strengthens us spiritually in morial NATO

and purpose is for us to remember Hindi fuba.

But when we say in the Bible to remember, it doesn't only mean

to recall nothing, to recall exercise brain 1000 years ago

Natixis has been approaches across OK, I I can't remember

that that's not what memorial means, that that's not what

remembrance means. But in the Bible, when we say

remembrance, apart from recalling a particular event, it

calls us to a particular action. And what is that action?

That action by friends is rejoicing.

It is rejoicing. That's why, again, just early

this morning, we took the the bread and the wine, the game

partition and Lord's Table. Did we just remind ourselves

that at one point of history Christ died on the cross or

Nutanix Nation rejoicings at Let us examine ourselves.

Are we participating in the Lord's Supper just to

participate in a mechanical ceremony, or do we still

understand the the meaning of this sacrament?

Because if we really understand the meaning of this sacrament,

my brothers and sisters, we do not just recall.

We do not just remember, but we rejoice.

Dahil may meaningful young bread and young wine, and at the

moment when he blessed the bread, and when he gave thanks

for the cup, our Saviour was still standing before the most

bitter episode of his suffering. He was, however, already

convinced of the victory that he would obtain, and the shadows

came to an end in a new era began.

They celebrate it privately, family per family.

So what? Thai Pusila Navsari Nilam and

It's too much for one family. The Himalayan your family

But the point is they are celebrating the Passover in the

comfort of their private residences.

But the Lord's upraised not like that because the Lord's Table is

not celebrated by individual families, but it is celebrated

by the family and that is the family of God at Makasama

Haddon. And even though having the Lord

stopper happy new month that you begin your, we are not

considered as separate units or separate families.

Yes, the church is composed of different families, but All in

all we are just one family. And when we come to the Lord's

Table, we participate as one body, one family and that's what

makes the difference. That's what makes the

difference. So that is the monument which

Christ has left behind. It is a living monument.

It is the table of communion, of the communion with Him and

through Him, of the communion with one another.

It is the guarantee of the unity with Him and thus the unity with

one another. So, brothers and sisters,

beloved, let us celebrate the Passover.

Let us celebrate the Holy Supper and thus be refreshed as we wait

for the coming of our King. Let us all pray our merciful

God, who is pleased to condescend, to speak to us

through Your Word. Grant us all grace that we may

not be mere hearers of Your Word, but do worse.

Also give us the grace of Your Holy Spirit that we may believe

what has been proclaimed to us. May we bring glory and honour to

Your name in all that we do as You conform us to the image of

Your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, and all of this gracious Father,

we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
