In the passage before us, Jesus eats the Passover with His disciples. Passover is a remembrance of an event. At this time our Lord institutes communion, the Lord’s supper as a memorial to Him for His death.

The Lord’s supper is spoken of in 1Corinthians 11:26. The Apostle Paul writes that it is a memorial, a remembrance of a person, the Savior Himself, and His death until He comes again.

Dr. Mitchell brings out the distinct perspective that it is not the value that men place on the blood of Christ, but the value that God places on Jesus’ blood. The Scriptures witness to the numerous times the blood of Christ affects the life of the Christian.

God’s value of His blood is of eternal importance.

Do you and I value this eternal expenditure of Christ on the cross as God does?

Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible

broadcast, Matt.26:26-30.

The birth of Christ the Lord in Bethlehem the city of David as Savior, Jesus.

Matthew 1:18 ff and Luke 2:1 ff.

In Matthew 26:14-25, Matthew writes concerning one of his fellow disciples, Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus to the religious authorities.

Judas negotiated with the religious leaders for a price to deliver Jesus to them. They settled on 30 pieces of silver.

Dr. Mitchell shares, from Old Testament prophecy, how God was valued for 30 pieces of silver.

Jesus announced to the disciples that one of them would betray Him. All of them answered with the words, Lord is it I? except Judas. He answered with the words, Rabbi, is it I?

Judas related to Jesus as only a teacher.

The 11 other disciples related to Jesus as Lord.

Jesus the Lord is God.

Interestingly, Judas was the treasurer rather than Matthew who had been a tax gatherer.
