THE LAST SUPPER (John 13:1-20)

1. Now before the feast of the Passover.

Immediately before, just as Christ was about to sit down with his disciples to the paschal feast.

Jesus knew that his hour was come.

The scenes of this hour, the Passover, the Lord's Supper, the washing of feet, and the solemn teaching were in immediate view of the cross. The Lord saw the dark and bloody path of suffering just before him. In this hour of sorrow the pre-eminent love that he had for "his own" shone forth resplendent. "He loved them to the end."

When Did Christ Eat the Last Supper?
