Conclusion: Jesus Christ, in fulfillment of the Scriptures, was betrayed into the hands of wicked men by His own familiar friend, and as the spotless Lamb of God was led away to the slaughter, for the purpose to which He had consecrated Himself, the shedding of His blood for the putting away of sin. He faced the issue alone, victorious over all Satanic attempts to turn Him from the divine purpose, and forsaken by His own, went forth to be slain.

Key Word: Jesus' last night, Luke 22:1.

Strong Verses: Luke 22:19; Luke 22:20; Luke 22:42.

Striking Facts: Luke 22:19-20. The Lord's supper itself is an evidence of Christ's deity, for no man could institute a memorial of himself of this character. It is a memorial of His finished work (Luke 22:19; 1 Corinthians 11:26), a symbol of the impartation of His life to us (Luke 22:19; Luke 22:20; 1 Corinthians 11:29), a vehicle of the impartation of Himself (Luke 22:19-20), a prophecy of His return and the marriage supper. (1 Corinthians 11:26; Luke 22:16; Luke 22:18.)
