Matthew 26:17-20, 26-30
Receiving the Provision of Jesus

On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus took a centuries-old tradition—the Passover—and gave it a radical new meaning. He wasn't just observing a ritual; He was initiating a new way for us to relate to God and to one another.

In this episode, Dr. Jerry Shields explores Matthew 26:17-30 to show how the "provision" of Jesus is much more than a physical meal. It is the foundation of a New Fellowship (the Church family), a New Covenant (total forgiveness through His blood), and a New Hope (the promise of His future return).

Whether you feel like a "Lone Ranger" Christian or you’re carrying the weight of past failures, this message is a reminder that the table of the Lord is a place of restoration, unity, and unshakeable hope.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • How Jesus redefined "family" through His followers.

  • The difference between the Old Passover and the New Covenant.

  • Why Jesus left His last meal "unfinished" and what that means for our future.

  • A time of guided self-examination and prayer.
