16The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

17When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve.

18While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me."
- P86

20"It is one of the Twelve," he replied, "one who dips bread into the bowl with me.

21The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born."


- P87

22While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take it; this is my body."

23Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

24"This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many," he said to them.

25"Truly I tell you, I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."
- P87

As Passover approaches, the disciples ask Jesus where they will eat the traditional meal. Jesus responds with specific instructions about how they will find the place, and everything unfolds exactly as He says. This passage reveals Jesus’ divine knowledge, authority, and provision. He is not only aware of future events but also prepares for them in advance. - P88

The disciples simply need to trust and follow His instructions. - P88

How often do we worry about the unknowns in our lives? Instead of panicking, we are invited to trust in Jesus’ wisdom and lordship. He sees what we cannot and prepares the way before us. - P88

When we follow His guidance, we find that He has already made provision for us. - P88

Jesus reveals that He will no longer drink from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes in its fullness. - P88

As they eat, He discloses that one of His disciples will betray Him. Judas, though physically close to Jesus, remains far from Him spiritually. - P88

Jesus transforms the traditional Passover meal into a new covenant symbol. The bread symbolizes His body, and the wine His blood, soon to be poured out for many. The Passover meal reaches its fulfillment, now pointing to Jesus’ sacrificial death and the enduring invitation to remember His love through the Lord’s Supper. - P88

마찬가지로 하나님께서 우리에게 최상의 영적 경험을 하게 하시는 이유는 이 ‘최상의 상태‘를 기억하라는 뜻입니다. 이 영적 상태를 우리 기준으로 삼아 높은 곳을 바라보고 갈망하는 마음으로 사는 것이 중요합니다.
신앙은 감정적이지는 않으나, ‘주님을 만나는 체험‘에서 시작합니다.  - P128

2At harvest time he sent a se...

2At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.

3But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

4Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully.

5He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed.

6"He had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

- P82

7"But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

8So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9"What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

10Haven’t you read this passage of Scripture: "‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;

11the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?"

- P82

12Then the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders looked for a way to arrest him because they knew he had spoken the parable against them. But they were afraid of the crowd; so they left him and went away.
- P83

This parable illustrates both God’s enduring patience and the persistent rebellion of His people. The vineyard represents Israel, and the tenants represent the religious leaders who are supposed to care for the people. The servants symbolize the prophets God has sent to call His people back to Him. - P84

Instead of welcoming God’s representatives, the religious leaders mistreat and reject them. Just as the owner keeps sending his servants to the tenants, God relentlessly pursues His people despite their continual rejection of His grace. - P84

Like the tenants, God entrusted us with responsibilities in our homes, schools, jobs, and churches. May we not neglect or reject our duties but remember that we are called to be faithful with what God has placed in our care. - P84

Psalms 118:22 NLT
[22] The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.
- P84

After many failed attempts at getting the tenants to heed his requests, the owner finally sends his beloved son to the vineyard. The tenants’ rejection of the son mirrors how the religious leaders reject Jesus and plot His death. They are selfish, focused only on what they themselves can gain. - P84

Jesus quotes from Psalm 118, declaring that the rejected stone has become the cornerstone—the most essential part of a building’s foundation. This imagery invites us to reflect on our own lives. - P84

Is Jesus truly our foundational cornerstone or have we built our purpose, decisions, and beliefs upon something or someone else? When Jesus is our cornerstone, we experience the stability and strength of a life built on trusting in Him. - P84

"Human beings, whether good or evil, rejecting or accepting, believing or unbelieving,
