Luke 22:1-34 - The Imperfect Have a Saviour

In this passage we read about Judas agreeing to betray Jesus and the last supper. Jesus knew every detail of how this meal would unfold, and in this moment He was fulfilling the law and prophets.

Passover is the holy week that Jewish people celebrate God’s liberation of them from slavery and invited them into a covenant relationship with Him, the Father.

Jesus uses the symbols of the Passover meal to reveal the purpose of His coming death; the bread was representative of His body and the wine was representative of His blood. He did this to demonstrate the new covenant relationship that would come through of His death on the cross.

This new relationship is an invitation into a new family. It doesn’t depend on our ethnicity or who our ancestors were, but on our belief and trust in God.

We can be continuously encouraged by this invitation knowing that we have been chosen to be adopted into God’s own family.
