Jesus and the New Bread of the Presence

King David and the Priestly Bread of the Presence

Thou art a priest after the order of Melchizedek (Psalm 110)

The priest in the temple and the Bread of Presence

Priests worked on the Sabbath despite the prohibition of work on the Sabbath

Something greater than the temple

Not made by the hands of men

The bread and wine of Jesus’ presence → The Real Presence

The Fourth Cup

Jewish Passover Meal at the Time of Jesus

The roasted lamb you brought back from the Temple

Bitter herbs and unleavened bread

Four cups of wine

1. Introductory Rites
2. Cup of Proclamation
3. Cup of Blessing
4. Cup of Praise

Did Jesus Finish the Last Supper?

Jesus’ vow – the Fourth Cup?

Prayer in Gesthemane

Refusing the wine mixed with myrrh

Words from the Cross

I thirst → Sour wine (on hyssop) → It is finished → He gave up His spirit.

Jesus reconfigured Passover around his own passion
