Preparation for the lord's supper
Richard Bradley
Mark 14:12-26
No one would deny that the Lord's Supper is a unique and special event. It's actually a combination of both the old and the new. The Lord's Supper is a time for looking back but is equally a time for looking to the future.
The Old? With the first celebration of the Lord's Supper the Passover meal became instantly obsolete. The Passover meal memorialized Israel's deliverance from bondage in Egypt when the death angel passed over all the Israelite homes displaying the blood of the lamb.

17 In the evening He came with the twelve.
18 Now as they sat and ate, Jesus said, ''Assuredly, I say to you, one of you who eats with Me will betray Me.''
19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to Him one by one, ''Is it I?'' And another said, ''Is it I?''
20 He answered and said to them, ''It is one of the twelve, who dips with Me in the dish.
