Matthew 26:17–29

Pastor Matt Milligan

The Last Supper is spoke of five different times in scripture. To get a complete picture of what happened before our Lord and savior Jesus Christ was crucified, you really need to read them all.
(Matthew 26:17–29; Mark 14:12–25; Luke 22:7–38; John 13:1-17:26 and 1 Corinthians 11:23–25).

God wanted this moment to be captured in scripture for generations upon generations to read and understand. Christ was showing and teaching us at the same time.

He washes the feet of the disciples to teach humility. He foretells Peter’s denial to bring Peter to dependence. He exposes the betrayer (Judas) to show his power and control. He sets up the Lord’s Supper to be a reminder of His sacrifice. He speaks wisdom about many foundational topics of the faith in the book of John

“Let not your hearts be troubled”
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life”
“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you”
“I am the true vine, and my father is the vine dresser”
“Abide in me, and I in you”
“I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth”

Right before Jesus was taken away and crucified, he had wisdom he wanted to walk out in front of us and some wisdom he wanted to speak directly to us.

In your life today, are you walking in the wisdom of Christ?
