A Timeless Supper (Truth Bombs Maundy Thursday - Pastor Steve)

What would you choose to eat to commemorate the greatest thing that has ever happened in human history?. While our holiday traditions often involve specific foods like Easter ham or St. Patrick’s Day corned beef to tell a story of our culture or history, the meal we celebrate on Maundy Thursday was divinely instituted to tell God's story of redemption. In this sermon, we explore why Holy Communion is a "supper that spans the ages," connecting our past, present, and future through the grace of Jesus Christ. Key Themes: *Pointing to the Past: We look back to the Passover in Egypt, where God’s people were spared not by their own merits, but by the blood of the lamb. Jesus identifies Himself as the true Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. *Blessing the Present: Jesus instituted a "supper for sinners". He looked into the eyes of imperfect disciples like Peter and Thomas—and He looks at us today—offering His body and blood for the forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation. *Foreshadowing the Future: This meal is a "foretaste of the heavenly banquet". It is a vow from Jesus that we will one day feast with Him in a kingdom where sin, guilt, and death are defeated forever. Join us as we take shelter under the blood of the Lamb and rejoice in the mercy that is poured out for you.
