CHAPTER 21:THE CUP OF CONSUMMATION

-JC = vine-Father = vinedresser-Humanity = branches

-Branch is fruitful = pruned by Father-Branch is dead = cut off and burned in

fire (hell)-Branch can’t bear fruit by itself, must be

part of the vine = we must be part of Christ in order to cultivate

JOHN 15

Matthew 26:1-5- Caiaphas was high priest

- Arrest Christ after PassoverJohn 13

- washing of disciple’s feet- Peter wouldn’t allow

- Jesus told to Judas to do his action of betrayal quickly

- New commandment: “Love one another as I have loved you” – John 13:34

Matthew 26:14-16- Judas betray Jesus; 30 pieces of silver

- “The one who has dipped their hand in the dish with me, will betray me”

THE LAST SUPPER

Passover was celebrated with 4 cups:1. After blessing, 1st cup was drunk followed

by bitter herbs that symbolized the bitterness of captivity in Egypt

2. Passover story read from Exodus 12, Psalm 113 sung and 2nd cup drunk

3. Main meal of lamb and unleavened bread, after which the 3rd cup, “cup of blessing” was drunk

4. Psalms 114-118 were sung and Passover came to its climax when the 4th cup the “cup of consummation” was drunk

THE LAST SUPPER

Jesus changed 3rd cup “this is my body…”V. 28“Blood of this covenant” (Ex. 24:8)

ratification of covenant btw Israel and God; Jesus introduces new covenant ratified by His

bloodV. 28 references Isaiah 53 “The Suffering

Servant”Jesus is the Passover lamb of the new covenantHe establishes a new covenant from His body and blood this anticipates his death on the

cross

THE LAST SUPPER

Matthew 26: 30-464th cup: “Cup of consummation”

- sung psalms but then left to mount of Olives- Gethsemane “olive press”- took Peter, James, and John to keep watch

- v 39 “if possible let this cup pass from me” - 4th cup = his death on cross was to be

consummation of his Passover sacrifice- 3 apostles fell asleep 3 times

Matthew 26:47-57- Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss and arrested- taken to Sanhedrin (the council of Jewish

elders)

AGONY IN THE GARDEN

Matthew 26:57-75- Annas sent JC to son-in-law,

Caiaphas- charged with blasphemy - blasphemy = crime of insulting

God or of claiming Godlike attributes. - Peter denied Him three times- Judas hanged himself

Peter’s and Judas sin is the same- both betray Jesus. What is the difference between the two?

TRIAL AND DENIAL

Matthew 27:11-44- Pilate was persuaded JC was threat to

Rome- sent to King Herod Antipas because

Galilee was under his jurisdiction- custom of releasing one man, Barabbas - Barabbas= “Son of the Father”- mock Christ with crown, robe, title- Simon of Cyrene forced to carry the cross

PONTIUS PILATE

John 18 & 19-Golgotha = place of the skull-“Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews”-“Jesus of Nazareth, this man said I am King of the Jews”-Tunic – seamless garment, same as a Jewish high priest wore; cast lots-Veronica – wiped face with veil, left image-Gesmas – bad thief-Dismas – good thief

CRUCIFIXION OF CHRIST

1.  "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do."  2.   "This day you shall be with me in Paradise.“3.   "Woman, behold your son. Son behold your Mother"    4.  My God, My God why have you forsaken me? 5.   "I thirst."   6.   "It is finished."  7.   "Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit."
