The Passover was the meal that celebrated and reminded the Jews of their great liberation from Egypt. As Jesus shared it with his disciples, He was preparing for a much greater liberation. So, He takes bread and breaks it and He shares wine amongst them speaking of a new covenant and the forgiveness of sins. He talks about betrayal and about blood. No wonder the disciples questioned what was happening. Their world was about to be turned upside down and, other than Judas, none of them knew anything about it. This was the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning. What would happen between now and Sunday would change everything.
