Exodus 12

Deep Desire that leads to a Great Gift, Luke 22:14-30

Fr. Jeremiah Caughran Deep Desire that Leads to a Great Gift, Luke 22.14-30

On the night that Jesus would be handed over and betrayed, he instituted the Communion meal. He transformed the Passover Supper into something new that would feed us with the gift of his sacrifice and new life. In fact, Jesus deeply desired to share this Passover with his disciples and through that deep desire offered this great gift of communion to them and to us.

Behold the Lamb of God, Exodus 12, 1 Corinthians 11, John 13

Fr. Jeremiah Caughran Behold the Lamb of God, Exodus 12, 1 Corinthians 11, John 13

At the Last Supper our Lord, Jesus established the Eucharist and washed his disciples’ feet. In the process of this, we are reminded that Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. How does this connect to the establishing of the Passover so long ago? Father Jeremiah explores this and explains it in his Maundy Thursday sermon.
