Imagine you're at a Passover Seder meal celebrating the Jews' deliverance from Egypt. Listen to this lesson to learn a full breakdown of the event. See how the rituals were foreshadowing how the Messiah would someday come to earth to be the sacrificial Lamb of God. Now imagine yourself at the Last Supper with Jesus and His disciples as Jesus gave new meaning to Passover rituals. See how He established the Lord's Table as a memorial to His death and resurrection. Realize that because He died and rose again from the dead we can have peace for today and unbounded confidence for the future.

What do you think of when you hear the word “holy”? Someone who is “saint-like” and perfect? Listen to this lesson to learn that holy means to be set apart and that God is set apart from all His creation and unique in His holiness. Find out why we are not able to make ourselves holy and the meaning of sanctification, starting with the necessity for cleansing. Hear about the nation of Israel and their purpose to be kings and priests. As we learn that we in the Church Age are called to be holy so we can serve God, find out how to fulfill this requirement in a way that brings glory to God and not to ourselves.

This essential message tells the engrossing meaning of the Seder or Passover meal that Jesus celebrated the night before His death. See the actual elements and what each signifies. Find out the importance of cleansing and its relationship with the unleavened bread. Find out what Jesus was teaching when He washed the disciples’ feet. Continue on through a description of those last hours in the Garden of Gethsemane, the brutal beatings, and illegal trials leading up to Christ’s death on the Cross. Appreciate Christ’s love for us as you meditate and praise Him this week.

This lesson also includes Luke 22:1–23:49.
