Passover to the Lords Supper
Mark 1412-25

In our text we go from Passover to the Lords
Supper. The Passover is a feast of the Jews
celebrating when the blood of the Passover Lamb
applied to the door posts and Lintel kept the
Death Angel from visiting the Children of Israel
in Egypt. Here Jesus is coming to the last
Passover He would celebrate on earth.
