About this episode

This episode explores Jesus' desire to share Passover with his disciples and its significance for communion.

This week, we move from the very public debates and teachings of Jesus in the temple courts to the intimate gathering at Passover before his arrest. Luke's gospel, uniquely, adds the note that Jesus greatly desired to eat this Passover with them. Why? What does Jesus' innovation say about who he is and what communion means for us? In preparation read John 13:1-17 and Luke 22:1-39 . It will be great to be with you for worship. We hope you will invite a friend.
