The Lord’s SupperA Night Of Communion AndGood JudgmentBy Moises Torres M.The attitude observed by the apostles of Jesus, thenight they met in the upper room to partake of thePassover, was one of communion and good judgment.They experienced a great communion and happiness withtheir Lord and Master when He washed their feet and atewith them that night.However, they also experienced doubts, bewilderment,and even moments of anguish when their Lord told themthat one of them was going to betray Him. But none ofthem went ahead to point someone out, and they did notmurmur or accuse one another.On the contrary, their reaction was one of sadness.“And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto himone by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?” (Mark 14:19)They didn’t try to justify themselves by saying, “It’s notme” or I “didn’t do it” or “Don’t even get me involved inthis” as human tendency is.We therefore realize the quality of those disciples ofChrist who ate with Him at His table that memorable night.Even though they were certain in their hearts of notbetraying their Lord, they doubted, and they examinedthemselves.As the disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ did, weshould practice these commendable attitudes in these days.Do not judge nor blame someone else. Judge yourself.“For if we would judge ourselves, we should not bejudged” (I Corinthians 11:31).The Lord’s SupperInstituted By JesusBond TennantOur Lord Jesus was born a Jew. He was born underthe law, and subject to all its provisions and ordinances,including the observance year by year of the Feast of thePassover. He and His twelve disciples, accordingly, hadcome together in the upper room that fateful evening forthis purpose.Jesus knew that His time had come to die. He knewthe Passover lamb that was slain there in Egypt on thefourteenth day of Nisan in the evening, and whose bloodprovided protection for the firstborn in Israel, picturedHimself. He was that perfect Lamb of God who wouldgive His life as a ransom for the whole world. “The nextday John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Beholdthe Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world”(John 1:29). He was about to meet the demands of justiceby giving His life for mankind.THE ADVOCATE OF TRUTHPAGE THREE
