Introduction
Greetings...
The goal of our lesson on “Fundamentals” has been to create, if necessary, the foundational milk of the Scriptures which lead to a greater understanding of the solid food () or for those with such foundation a “building upon” said foundation.
This has been the focus and desire from the beginning.
We began this journey with our worship of God because there is no greater importance for mankind than a proper understanding on “how to worship our Creator” as God would desire in “spirit and truth” ().
Thus, today we look at another “act of worship” the Lord’s Supper this morning.
As we have in the past, so we will continue to do today, it is vital we understand the background to partaking the Lord’s Supper.
Like with many aspects of the New Testament it assumes you know the background of the Old Testament and the Lord’s Supper is no different because it is blustered by past shadows of information.
This is evident by the fact that the Lord’s Supper was established after partaking of the Passover Meal ().
So today we will be examining the shadows of the Lord’s Supper of the past that will greater help us in our “Worship In The Lord’s Supper.”
The Passover’s Establishment
The Passover’s Establishment
The Exodus was near.
The Exodus was near.
Moses and Aaron had been striving to have Egypt “let God’s people go.” ()
1 And the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet. 2 You shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall tell Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go out of his land.
There was going to be one more plague and it would shake the Egyptians to their core. ()
1 The Lord said to Moses, “Yet one plague more I will bring upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt. Afterward he will let you go from here. When he lets you go, he will drive you away completely.
This plague would kill the first born of every Egyptian and their livestock. ()
4 So Moses said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘About midnight I will go out in the midst of Egypt, 5 and every firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the slave girl who is behind the handmill, and all the firstborn of the cattle.
The only escape was to obey God ().
The only escape was to obey God ().
This last plague was to be without mercy in Egypt for everyone except the obedient Israelites and obedience required...
On the first month of the year, on the tenth day the preparation for the 10th plague was to begin.
They were to get a male lamb, without blemish that was a year old.
5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats,
On the 14th day of the month they were to kill the lamb at twilight.
6 and you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill their lambs at twilight.
They were to take the blood and put it on the two doorpost and lintel where they were eating the lamb. ()
7 “Then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.
They were to roast the lamb on the fire and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs making sure to eat all they could and if any was left they were to burn it up. ()
7 “Then they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it. 8 They shall eat the flesh that night, roasted on the fire; with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it. 9 Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted, its head with its legs and its inner parts. 10 And you shall let none of it remain until the morning; anything that remains until the morning you shall burn.
They were to be clothed and ready to leave Egypt while eating the lamb quickly.
11 In this manner you shall eat it: with your belt fastened, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord’s Passover.
The Passover was to be remembered ().
The Passover was to be remembered ().
This feast was to be a “memorial day.”
The feast in the coming year had regulations as well.
On the 14th day of the first month all leaven was to be removed from house and there was to be a holy assembly.
For seven days they were to eat unleavened bread and on the 20th day of the month they were to have another holy assembly.

The Passover & Jesus
The Passover & Jesus
Sin brought the Passover & Jesus.
Sin brought the Passover & Jesus.
The hard heart of sin.
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart and would not listen to them, as the Lord had said.
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Ex 7:
The lack of heading the warnings of God.
Jesus spent three years warning mankind to repent and follow Him yet so many rested in their sin with hard hearts.
The Passover & Jesus was a memorial escape.
The Passover & Jesus was a memorial escape.
The Passover represented God’s love for His people.
He demonstrated this by “listening to their cries.”
7 Then the Lord said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings,
Ex 3:7
He also did this by not just hearing but acting to “lead them to safety.”
29 By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as on dry land, but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned.
The Lord’s Supper represents God’s love for His people.
God listened to the cries of separation from God.
15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”
God sent His son to lead the people to safety.
Mt 11:
28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Jn 3:17
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
The Passover & Jesus was a memorial of putting God first
The Passover & Jesus was a memorial of putting God first
The passover represented God’s expectation of righteousness.
If everything was not done right the angel of death would not have passed over them because they did not put God and His desires first.
23 For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you.
The Lord’s Supper represents God’s expectation of righteousness.
If we partake in a worthy manner we will not be found guilty but if we don’t and put our desires above God’s we will be condemned.
27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.
1 Cor 11:27-
The Passover & Jesus was memorial of God’s love.
The Passover & Jesus was memorial of God’s love.
The Passover was to remind the people that their God loves them and cares for them.
He was willing to do what it took to help them.
10 different plagues God sent to show His power and love for His people.
The Lord’s Supper is a reminder, each week, that our God loves us.
The Godhead loves us enough to send the only begotten Son in flesh to the earth.
8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
The Godhead loves us enough to allow deity to die upon a tree.
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”—
The Godhead loves us enough to do what is necessary to have a relationship with us.
13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

The Passover wasn’t some arbitrary action done by God it was purposefully developed and remembered in light of Jesus and the great memorial that we are to partake of each day of the week.
Next week when we examine the authority for the Lord’s Supper let us never forget it’s reflection of the Passover Feast.
Invitation
1 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, or his ear dull, that it cannot hear; 2 but your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear.
6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
