The Lord's Supper
Mark 14:12-25
Pastor Jason Carlson
Mark 14:12-25
In the Lord’s supper we see:
1. The providence of God (v. 12-21)
Ephesians 1:11
Isaiah 46:8-10
Psalm 139:16
Jeremiah 10:23
Lamentations 3:37-38
Proverbs 21:1
Proverbs 16:33
Daniel 4:35
Psalm 41:5-9
Psalm 22:1, 7-8, 14-18
Isaiah 53:4-6
“Soon after that comes Jesus, and in the knowledge that he is the coming Son of Man lays hold of the wheel of the world to set it moving on that last revolution which is to bring all ordinary history to a close. It refuses to turn, and he throws himself upon it. Then it does turn; and crushes him. Instead of bringing in the eschatological conditions, he has destroyed them. The wheel rolls onward, and the mangled body of the one immeasurably great man, who was strong enough to think of himself as the spiritual ruler of mankind and to bend history to his purpose, is hanging upon it still.” - Albert Schweitzer, The Quest For The Historical Jesus
Jesus turns the wheel of history!

Sermon Discussion Questions
Questions for reflection:
1. What encouragement can we take from the doctrine of providence?
2. How do the events of the Lord’s supper impact your understanding of what Jesus has done for us?
Questions for discussion:
1. How is God’s providence seen in the events of the Lord’s supper? How do we make sense of the tension between God’s sovereignty and human freedom?
2. Why is the lamb central to the Passover meal? What do we mean as Christians when we say Jesus is the Lamb of God?
3. In what ways is the taking of communion both an act of remembrance and a reminder of our future hope?
