A New Promised Land
As a wandering people

Even while in the Promised Land of Canaan
- Samuel’s prophecy
- Ezekiel’s promise of a garden
- Isaiah’s promise of a new heavens and a new earth
Jesus and the New Exodus
Josephus, the Jewish Roman historian attests to widespread expectation; fakes: Theudas
Jesus does Exodus things like a New Moses
- 40-day fast in the desert
- Miraculous signs (water into blood – water into wine)
New covenant established in the Upper Room
Quotes Isaiah to the Baptizer’s disciples
The Transfiguration – the New Israel

Last Supper
Talked about his suffering, not the historical narrative – That’s weird
Commanded his disciples to eat his body and drink his blood
- Directly contrary to all Jewish teaching
- Blood is the life of the animal; never drink it!
Biblical Roots of Passover
- Choose an Unblemished Lamb
- Sacrifice the Lamb
- Spread the blood of the Lamb
- Eat the flesh of the Lamb
- Keep the Passover as a Day of Remembrance
Bound in Love
