3. Welcome

5. Before the Throne of God

6. Before the throne of God above I have a strong and perfect plea A great High Priest whose name is love Who ever lives and pleads for me

7. My name is graven on His hands My name is written on His heart I know that while in heav’n He stands No tongue can bid me thence depart No tongue can bid me thence depart

8. When Satan tempts me to despair And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end of all my sin

9. Because the sinless Savior died My sinful soul is counted free
For God the Just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me

10. Behold Him there, the risen Lamb My perfect, spotless Righteousness
The great unchangeable I AM
The King of glory and of grace

11. One with Himself, I cannot die My soul is purchased by His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ my Savior and my God

12. Nothing But the Blood

13. What can wash away my sin Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again

14. That makes me white as snow Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Oh! Precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

15. This is all my hope and peace Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all my righteousness

16. That makes me white as snow Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Oh! Precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

21. Mark 14:12–25
On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was being sacrificed, His disciples said to Him, “Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?”

22. Mark 14:12–25
13 And He sent two of His disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him; 14 and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is My guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’

23. Mark 14:12–25
15 And he himself will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; prepare for us there.” 16 The disciples went out and came to the city, and found it just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

24. Mark 14:12–25
17 When it was evening He came with the twelve. 18 As they were reclining at the table and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me—one who is eating with Me.” 19 They began to be grieved and to say to Him one by one, “Surely not I?”

25. Mark 14:12–25
20 And He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, one who dips with Me in the bowl. 21 For the Son of Man is to go just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

26. Mark 14:12–25
22 While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is My body.” 23 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

27. Mark 14:12–25
24 And He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. 25 Truly I say to you, I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

28. Sermon in a Sentence
To appreciate Jesus, God’s Passover, 1) we must recognize He was in control of the events leading to His death (12–16), 2) we must not believe God’s sovereignty removes our responsibility for betraying Jesus (17–21), and 3) we must take Christ’s bodily death as our sure hope of everlasting life until He comes (22–25).

29. Jesus, The Passover
1. We must recognize Jesus was in control of the events leading to His death (12–16).

30. Jesus, The Passover
Jesus is really the One making preparations. He is preparing His disciples (and us) to recognize the cross means we can forever feast upon Christ as our Passover.

31. “Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed” 1 Cor 5:7

32. Jesus, The Passover
Jesus picks the Passover to reveal Himself as our true and only hope for God to pass over our sins and the death they deserve.

33. Jesus, The Passover
Yes, Jesus will hang on a cross, and the world will mock Him, but He is still God and still in control.

34. “Where is My guest room?” (14) -Jesus

“Where is My guest room?” (14) -Jesus

35. Jesus, The Passover
During His public ministry “the Son of Man had no place to lay His head” (Matt 8:20), but He owned every room in Jerusalem, indeed in the whole world.

36. Jesus, The Passover
Jesus has supernatural knowledge of the events leading Him to the cross. What happens at the cross is by God’s design.

37. Jesus, The Passover
2. We must not believe the necessity of Christ’s death removes our responsibility for His death (17–21).

38. Jesus, The Passover

39. One-by-one, they ask Jesus, “Is it I?” (19).

41. Jesus, The Passover
“Even my close friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me.” – Ps. 41:9

42. Jesus, The Passover
Verse 21 is “one of the most theologically significant statements in the whole Bible.” – Daniel L. Akin

43. Jesus, The Passover

46. Jesus, The Passover
Did Judas hand Jesus over to die, or did God hand Him over to die? Yes!

47. Jesus, The Passover
The witness of Scripture is consistent and clear – sinners are entirely responsible for their sin, and salvation belongs to the Lord (Jonah 2:9).

48. Jesus, The Passover
The difference between Judas and us is that we still have an opportunity to repent of our sinful betrayal of Christ!

49. Jesus, The Passover
3. We must take Christ’s bodily death as our sure hope of everlasting life until He comes (22–25).

Only by taking Christ as our substitute will God pass over our sin.

53. Jesus, The Passover
What we really need is not unleavened bread but lives which are free from the leaven of sin, and the only way to have that is to take up Christ, the Bread of Life.

54. Jesus, The Passover
Like a beggar would reach out and gladly take a morsel of bread, we must reach out in faith and gladly take Christ’s death in our place.

55. Jesus offers Himself to a roomful of people who would abandon Him.

Jesus, The Passover

57. Jesus, The Passover

58. Jesus, The Passover
“Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great, And He will divide the booty with the strong; Because He poured out Himself to death, And was numbered with the transgressors; Yet He Himself bore the sin of many, And interceded for the transgressors.” Isaiah 53:12

59. Jesus, The Passover
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace… Eph 1:7

60. Jesus, The Passover
in Christ Jesus we who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Eph 2:13

62. Jesus, The Passover
Truly I say to you, I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.” Mark 14:25

64. In Christ Alone

65. In Christ alone my hope is found He is my light my strength my song
This cornerstone this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest
Drought and storm

66. What heights of love What depths of peace
When fears are stilled
When strivings cease
My comforter my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand

67. In Christ alone Who took on flesh Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save

68. ‘Til on that cross as Jesus died The wrath of God was satisfied
For ev’ry sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live, I live

69. There in the ground His body lay Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again

70. And as He stands in victory Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious
Blood of Christ
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand

100. One with Himself, I cannot die My soul is purchased by His blood

101. I bow before the cross of Christ And marvel at this love divine
God's perfect Son was sacrificed
To make me righteous in God's eyes

102. This river's depths I cannot know But I can glory in its flood
The Lord Most High has bowed down low
And poured on me His glorious love

His only Son
To make a wretch
His treasure

As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

My mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that
Held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath
Has brought me life
I know that it is finished

152. I will not boast in anything No gifts, no power, No wisdom
But I will boast in
Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

153. Why should I gain
From His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know
With all my heart
His wounds have
Paid my ransom
