The document is a sermon given at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi on April 30, 2017 about remembering Jesus' sacrifice through communion. It discusses the biblical Passover story, traditions of the Jewish Passover Seder meal, and the significance of Jesus as the Christian's Passover lamb. The sermon examines Jesus instituting communion during the Last Supper on the night he was betrayed, linking Christian communion with the Jewish Passover tradition of remembering God's deliverance through symbolic foods and rituals.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

7. April MemoryVerse:
Matthew 22:37-38 ESV
37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord
your God with all your heart and with all your
soul and with all your mind. 38This is the great
and first commandment.
25. Matthew 26:17-30 ESV
The Passover with the Disciples
17 Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the
disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where willYou
have us prepare forYou to eat the Passover?”
18 He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and
say to him, ‘TheTeacher says, My time is at hand.
I will keep the Passover at your house with My
disciples.’”
26. 19 And the disciples did as Jesus had directed
them, and they prepared the Passover.
27. 20When it was evening, He reclined at table
with the twelve. 21 And as they were eating, He
said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray
Me.” 22 And they were very sorrowful and began
to say to Him one after another, “Is it I, Lord?”
29. 24The Son of Man goes as it is written of Him,
but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man
is betrayed! It would have been better for that
man if he had not been born.”
31. Institution of the Lord's Supper
26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread,
and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the
disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”
32. 27 And He took a cup, and when He had given
thanks He gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it,
all of you, 28 for this is My blood of the
covenant, which is poured out for many for the
forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you I will not drink
again of this fruit of the vine until that day when
I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom.”
33. 30 And when they had sung a hymn, they went
out to the Mount of Olives.
Matthew 26:17-30 ESV
36. Exodus 6:6-7 ESV
6 Say therefore to the people of Israel, ‘I am the
LORD, and I will bring you out from under the
burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you
from slavery to them, and I will redeem you
with an outstretched arm and with great acts of
judgment.
37. 7 I will take you to be My people, and I will be
your God, and you shall know that I am the
LORD your God,Who has brought you out from
under the burdens of the Egyptians.
Exodus 6:6-7 ESV
38. The Passover story is well known to Christians,
primarily as a Jewish holiday but the Jewish
Passover is also an integral part of the Christian
story.
Without Passover, there could be no salvation
for the Gentiles.
43. The four expressions of God's will find an equal
place within Christianity.
1. "I will bring out" (Romans 8:29)
2. "I will deliver" (Galatians 1:4)
3. "I will take" (Romans 11:27)
4. "I will Redeem" (Galatians 3:13)
44. "I will bring out"
Romans 8:29 ESV
29 For those whom he foreknew he also
predestined to be conformed to the image of
his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn
among many brothers.
45. "I will deliver"
Galatians 1:4 ESV
4 who gave himself for our sins to deliver us
from the present evil age, according to the will
of our God and Father,
46. "I will take"
Romans 11:27 ESV
27 “and this will be my covenant with them
when I take away their sins.”
47. "I will Redeem"
Galatians 3:13 ESV
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law
by becoming a curse for us—for it is written,
“Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”—
48. Christians also know of four 'worlds‘: this one
which we are 'in' but not ‘of’, the Messianic
(Kingdom) Age, the general resurrection of the
dead at the GreatWhiteThrone and the new
heavens and the new Earth.
50. This is so important that if no children are
present, the responsibility falls to the wife or
other participants.
If a man is alone at Seder, he is obligated to ask
the question of himself.
54. Hebrews 10:26, 29 ESV
26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving
the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains
a sacrifice for sins,
29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will
be deserved by the one who has trampled
underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the
blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified,
and has outraged the Spirit of grace?
55. For centuries, the Jewish Passover has
concluded with the words, "Next year, in
Jerusalem!" symbolizing the Jewish love for the
City of God and their longing for the restoration
ofTemple sacrifice.
56. Are you washed in the Blood of the Lamb?
You know well the hymn chorus:
"Are you washed in the blood,
In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless?
Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?"
58. During the days ofTemple worship, a family
would offer a Passover lamb for sacrifice at the
Temple as covering for the sins of that family.
That ritual teaches us much about the love of
our Heavenly Father and what the sacrifice
really means.
59. Some weeks before Passover, the head of the
household would cull out the most perfect lamb
in his flock.
To be acceptable, the lamb could not be
purchased but had to be raised by the family.
60. The lamb would be brought into the household
as a pet.
The kids would play with it, wash and groom it,
grow attached to it, and even name it, making
it a part of the family.
62. At theTemple, the head of the household
would certify the lamb met all the conditions
before accepting it as a sacrifice.
The lamb would have a placard put around its
neck identifying the sinners for whom it was
about to die.
63. Here's where this gets difficult.
The head of the household, (to whom the lamb
was a beloved pet) didn't get to just leave the
lamb there and go home, like a person dropping
off a sick pet at the vets to be euthanized.
Or even one who comforts the pet while the vet
does it.
65. The priest would carefully instruct you in the
most humane way to conduct the sacrifice, but
you had to do it.
You would be taught how to gently squeeze off
the lamb's jugular with thumb and forefinger
until the lamb would pass out.
67. Once the lamb was unconscious, the penitent,
still holding the lamb's throat, would be
instructed on how to insert the knife, nick the
jugular and hold the lamb over the laver to
catch its blood for the sacrifice.
68. As the blood flowed, it would flow over the
penitent's hands and arms, staining him with
the sacrificial blood.
The lamb's innocent little heart would continue
to pump out the blood, which would continue
to stain the head of the household until it had
pumped its last and the little lamb was dead.
69. The priest would hold up the now-dead lamb
before the Lord, read the name of the family as
it appeared on the placard around its neck, and
declare the lamb's 'sins' before the Lord.
71. The family's beloved pet lamb was dead, its
blood was sprinkled over the mercy seat of the
Ark, and the sins of the family were covered for
another year.
72. The lamb bore the placard naming the family of
sinners.
The sinners bore the stains of the blood of the
lamb.
73. Galatians 2:20-21 NASB
20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no
longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the
life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in
the Son of God,Who loved me and gave
Himself up for me. 21 I do not nullify the grace of
God, for if righteousness comes through the
Law, then Christ died needlessly.”
74. In Judea in AD 33, Latin was the language of
business, as English is today.
But most people grew up speaking Greek,
which was the common language of the
empire, a holdover from the days of Alexander
the Great.
75. The Septuagint, the Greek version of theTorah,
was so translated because more Jews spoke
Greek than Hebrew.
So there was Latin and Greek, and finally, the
language of the Jews at the time, which was
Aramaic.
77. All present had to participate.
Had they not, then there could have been no
Crucifixion, no Resurrection, no redemption.
It was for the SINS of all mankind -- all mankind
was represented there.
82. It couldn't be just any Lamb, but it had to be
God's beloved Lamb.
Mark 1:11b KJV
11bThou art My beloved Son, inWhom I am well-
pleased.
83. This was no humane kosher sacrifice, but a
bloody, vicious, violent, painful, tortured and
shameful execution at the hands of the very
family the Lamb loved so deeply andWho asks
only our trust in return.
84. Isaiah 53:10a NASB
10a But the LORD was pleased to crush Him,
Isaiah 53:10a ESV
10aYet it was the will of the LORD to crush Him;
God was pleased with the plan.
85. When Caiphas objected, asking the inscription
be changed to say,
“This is Jesus, who claimed to be King of the
Jews,”
Pilate rebuffed him, saying,
“What I have written, I have written.”
86. For that was the charge against Him for which
He was crucified.
For the sins of the Jews as their King.
For the sins of the Romans as their occupier.
87. For the sins of mankind as they stood by as
spectators.
For you.
For me.
88. Who is to blame here?
It was because of my sins that He had to go
through that.
It was because of my sins that God had to come
up with the plan to crush Him.
89. Why is this day different than all other days?
Because it is the day that we learn just how
much God loves us and how much He loves
those we come in contact with every day.
90. Jesus is their King too.
And God's Lamb for them too.
Are their garments spotless?
Are they white as snow?
Are they washed in the Blood of the Lamb?
93. Romans 5:5-11 AMP
5 Such hope [in God’s promises] never
disappoints us, because God’s love has been
abundantly poured out within our hearts
through the Holy SpiritWho was given to us.
94. 6While we were still helpless [powerless to
provide for our salvation], at the right time
Christ died [as a substitute] for the ungodly.
7 Now it is an extraordinary thing for one to
willingly give his life even for an upright man,
though perhaps for a good man [one who is
noble and selfless and worthy] someone might
even dare to die.
95. 8 But God clearly shows and proves His own love
for us, by the fact that while we were still
sinners, Christ died for us. 9Therefore, since we
have now been justified [declared free of the
guilt of sin] by His blood, [how much more
certain is it that] we will be saved from the
wrath of God through Him.
96. 10 For if while we were enemies we were
reconciled to God through the death of His Son,
it is much more certain, having been reconciled,
that we will be saved [from the consequences
of sin] by His life [that is, we will be saved
because Christ lives today].
97. 11 Not only that, but we also rejoice in
God [rejoicing in His love and
perfection] through our Lord Jesus
Christ, throughWhom we have now
received and enjoy our reconciliation
[with God].
Romans 5:5-11 AMP
98. Romans 5:8 KJV
8 But God commendeth His love toward us, in
that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for
us.

that whoever believes in him should not perish but have
eternal life.”

life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
103. Romans 3:23 ESV
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 6:23a ESV
23a For the wages of sin is death,
• Death in this life (the first death) is 100%.
• Even Jesus, the only one who doesn’t deserve death,
died in this life to pay the penalty for our sins.
• The death referred to in Romans 6:23a is the second
death explained in Revelation 21:8.
104. Revelation 21:8 ESV
8 “But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as
for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters,
and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns
with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
Romans 6:23b ESV
23b but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our
Lord.
105. Romans 5:8 ESV
8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still
sinners, Christ died for us.
Revelation 21:7 ESV
7 "The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will
be his God and he will be my son.”
Romans 10:9-10 explains to us how to be conquerors.
106. Romans 10:9-10 ESV
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is
Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from
the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one
believes and is justified, and with the mouth one
confesses and is saved.
Romans 10:13 ESV
13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be
saved.”
