Summary
In our gospel text this evening, we see as Jesus tells His disciples to go and prepare the Passover feast and it's incredible that everything he said they would find it had been exactly as he said and everything had been prepared according to what he said would be prepared. In Luke 22, we hear the chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death for they were afraid of the people. Since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the true form of these realities, it can never by the same sacrifices that are continually offered year after year make perfect those who approach. For the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins, consequently when Christ came into the world, he said, sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body you have prepared for me. When he said above you have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings, these are offered according to the law, then he added, see, I have come to do your will. And every priest stands day after day at his service, offering again and again the same sacrifices that can never take away sins.
