THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW Part 71: The Last Passover

Jesus left Jerusalem on Monday night of the Passover Week and stayed in the house of a former leper. During the evening meal, a woman came with an alabaster box and poured an expensive liquid on His head.

This act of love greatly upset the apostles because they considered it a waste of money. Judas had already met with the religious leadership and agreed to betray the God-man for $265 in silver.

Tuesday was the Passover and Jesus ate the meal with the apostles in the upper room of a supporter. The ritualistic meal dated back two millennia when the pre-incarnated Jesus instituted it with Moses prior to the exodus from Egypt.

The Creator expressing His yearning to take part in this final ritual with the apostles said, “With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you.” It was eaten under the auspices of the First Covenant and Jesus converted it into what would become known as Communion.
