Maundy Thursday 2023: The Passover In Egypt & Communion
...at the height of Egypt’s power, in the amazing 18th dynasty of Egypt, God Jehovah devastated one entire nation in an incredible display of supernatural miracles like the world had never seen, all to let His people go.
Finally, there was the death of the firstborn... God came through that land, and He said, “I’m going to take the life of every firstborn child, and every firstborn of the animals. They’re going to die in one night when the angel of death passes. And He took Pharaoh’s own son, and then and only then did Pharaoh finally say, “Get out!” And then he changed his mind and tried to chase them, and God drowned the entire Egyptian army in the Red Sea.
Listen, when God says, “I’m going to let my people go,” He’s going to let His people go. If a Jew ever questioned the saving, redeeming, delivering power of God, all he had to do was go back to this tremendous event; that was the touchstone of God’s redemptive power. And God wanted them to never forget it, and so God gave them the Passover, and said, “Let it be a memorial, that I am a God mighty to save.”
And so they kept Passover year, after year, after year, after year, until one night there came a very special Passover, like no other Passover had ever been. This Passover was special. Jesus was gathered in an upper room, and He was gathered there with His disciples to eat the Passover; that’s why He was there. It was the night before He would go to the cross, and it was time to celebrate the Passover, to remember God’s saving power, and to remember it in terms of the deliverance from Egypt. But in the middle of that Passover Jesus did an amazing thing, an amazing thing. Just as they were ready to look backwards to Egypt as the great evidence of God’s saving power, Jesus transformed the Passover into something brand new.
You want to know how He did it? This is how the Passover went. The presiding person pronounced a blessing called the Kiddush. That blessing was over the first cup of wine which was red, and then the wine was drunk, and then passed to the others to drink. It was followed by a dipping of the unleavened bread into what was known as bitter herbs: the unleavened bread, the bitter herbs. Bitter herbs were kind of a fruit sauce. That is the sop that Jesus dipped with Judas.
Then came an explanation of the meaning of Passover. And then came the food for the meal, the sacrificial lamb; and it was to be eaten, because God passed over the lamb, where the lamb’s blood was sprinkled, and saved the firstborn. And then they sang the Hallel: Psalms 113 and 114, the first part of it.
And then the leader of the Passover picked up the second cup of wine. And then after that, he picked up the unleavened bread and he blessed God, and he ate the unleavened bread. And then he picked up a third cup of wine. And at that moment something amazing happened. Jesus, who was the leader of this Passover, when He got to the unleavened bread, said, “This is My” - what? - “body, which is given for you.” And when He came to the cup, He said, “This cup is the New Testament in my blood. This do as oft as you do it in remembrance of” - Egypt? No. What? - “Of Me.” And Jesus literally transformed the Passover into the Lord’s Table.
Now, beloved, when we look to see God as a Savior, where do we look? To Egypt? To where? To Calvary; to the Cross. Listen, if you think it was a mighty display of God’s saving power in Egypt, look again at the cross. There He didn’t deliver people from a nation, He delivered people from sin - an infinitely greater miracle. And so Jesus turned the Passover into the Communion.
Beloved, when we come to the Lord’s Table now, we come to remember the power of our redeemer God as displayed in the cross of Jesus Christ. Let’s pray together. While your heads are bowed, let me just speak for a moment to you.
The Table of the Lord is just that: the Lord’s Table. He turned the Passover into the Communion. He said, “From now on, the bread is representative of My body; the cup is representative of My blood. I am the living illustration of God’s redeeming power.”
John MacArthur God vs. the Gods of Egypt

🇵🇷 Yesterday, my mom, John, and I worked at Second Union Church before picking up my dad at the airport and driving to Aguada. Since this morning we have been doing maintenance work and repairs at the church we support in Hormigueros. This work trip during Holy Week, to me, is a precursor to the work that will be done this summer through our youth camps and construction work. In one of the rooms of this church, I have been scraping paint of its walls. Depending on how many layers there are, some of what I have been scraping or pulling off, is almost like pulling off wallpaper. The work has been hard, but very, very rewarding.

Is this 26?
I just got back from Zambales where I spent my Holy Week. This year’s holy week was a bit long. Came a long that was a soul-wrecking NLEX traffic.
I initially planned that I will just home during the vacation but it’s been a year na rin since I visited Zambales so I gave them the shot na.
I have been quiet lately. At work, with friends, on night outs. I actually don’t know where it started but I guess I was just really tired from everything since I give most of my energy to the people I love.
I used to look forward on weekends para gumi-mick. Now I look forward on weekends to get more rest. I also gave rest meeting my constant friends and met new and old pals.
I am still that Jace— Fun, Enthusiastic, Gemini. But I guess this is 26. (Turning 26 next month lol)

charles defending max is everything (austria) 🤧
They're such different people when it comes to hobbies, fashion, friendships, media presence, etc. etc. But in the ONE thing that truly defines them, they are the exact same. They are such racing drivers at heart. They want it ALL - the win, the fastest lap, the grand slam - and they will race all the way to the chequered flag.
Everyone else: "OMG how reckless, how unnecessary, how GREEDY of Max to go for the fastest lap when he's so far ahead in the points anyway 😡🤬"
Charles: "Oh yeah, I'd totally do the same." 😇
