Question

How does the Last Supper portray the full extent of our salvation including justification, sanctification, and glorification?

Answer 1

Justification: Bread. atoning work. He makes a connection between the meal they’re eating and His coming suffering. Sacrifice of the lamb by the Jews, in order to protect from the wrath of the destroyer. Rescues us from the divine wrath. Sanctification: Cup. Initiates the spiritual exodus that delivers us from slavery to sin. The cup initiates a new covenant with the sacrifice. The covenant will be written on hearts, not stone. Implies personal transformation. Glorification:the anticipation of the Great Messianic Feast. Fulfillment of “I will not eat this meal again until…” His glorious kingdom. The supper reminds us to look forward to Christ’s return.

Answer 2

Scourging or flogged – flagellum was a whip that had several leather straps that had bone, metal, glass on the ends whip was designed to cut open skin and stick to the flesh so that when it was pulled away it would rip off the skin with it. Jesus was on death’s doorstep before even being nailed to the cross. Crucifixion – “most wretched of all ways of dying” – josephus Even the citizens of rome did not have the stomach for crucifixion Nailed to the cross – spike through the ankles and hands, may even cut the legs off the victim once pulled down to have to get them off the cross, low cross allowed for birds, dogs, and even people to continue agonizing the victim breaking of the legs very common to speed up death however Jesus avoided that because he was dead in only 6 hours (super fast). also, OT prophecy said that no bones in his body would be broken The concoction filled with wine and myrrh was a painkiller of sorts that he did not take it was important for Jesus to experience the full pain and rejection of the father. in order for our sin to be fully covered Jesus needed to walk through all the agony of taking our sin upon himself.

Answer 3

Rejection, ridicule, betrayal – emotional suffering seen through the crown of thorns, wearing of purple cloak in mockery of kingship, reed given to him to see as king scepter Abandoned by the father – quotes psalm 22 which describes the crucifixion of Jesus in vivid detail – he has been separated from God fully as He must suffer as the substitute for the wrath of God. in his moment of despair and suffering – he had to be severed from God Cursed by God – 1 Corinthians, Paul recognizes he became a curse for us – he bore the curse that all men deserved for their sin – darkness is a picture (Deut. 28:28). in Jesus’s moment of greatest suffering he called out to his father, and the father did not answer. we cannot comprehend the agony he must have felt during this time. Cursed by God – Jesus became the curse that we deserve. Darkness at noon is a sign that the broken covenant has now descended on Jesus. We can NEVER doubt God’s love. This is a sign of the greatest love that has ever existed. We are not to measure God’s love by the present circumstances of life, we are to measure it by the cross.

Answer 4

directly pulled from Psalm 22 The casting of lots for Jesus’ clothes (Matt 27:35)) is direct quotation of 18 The sneering and shaking of heads (Matt 27:39) echoes 7 The mockery of Jesus’ confidence in God (Matt 27:43) is a direct quotation of 9 Jesus’ cry of dereliction (Matt 27:46) is a direct quotation of 2 Jesus’ crucifixion (Matt 27:26,31,35) recalls 16

Answer 5

Rending of the veil likely foreshadows the destruction of the temple Earthquake, splitting of the rocks, the opening of the tombs, and resurrection of the dead signal the fulfillment of Ezekiel 37, Zechariah, Isaiah 26:19 Jesus’ death signals the dawn of the new covenant era, the restoration and ultimate resurrection of God’s people, and the one who leads God’s people in victory. jesus died at the exact same time as all the Passover lambs

Answer 6

Although thousands of people were crucified by the Romans, we have no record of someone surviving uninterrupted crucifixion Pilates surprise that Jesus death was so quick. The fact that Jesus could not carry his patibulum indicates that his scourging was unusually severe and this apparently hastened his death the Romans were trained executioners who had likely conducted numerous crucifixions and recognized clear signs of death confirmed death by piercing his side, clear sign of physical death the disciples who handled His body after His death were confident He was dead When Jesus reappeared, no early witness suggested that Jesus had merely revived. They were confident that Jesus had risen from the dead even though this was contrary to their expectations.

Answer 7

Jesus tomb was a new tomb with no other bodies, making it easy to distinguish from other tombs this tomb had been visited by the women on the day of Jesus’ burial this tomb was located very close to Golgotha this tomb was identified by angels the tomb contained abandoned graveclothes

Answer 8

The penalty for a Roman solider who fell asleep at his post was execution. it is highly unlikely that any solider fell asleep the custodia would have been a large enough detachment to set up a rotating watch and would have included enough soldiers to resist Jesus; known disciples If the soldiers had truly been sleeping then they simply did not know what happened to Jesus’ body. They could not be sure that the body was stolen or, if stolen, who took it. Matthew’s statement that the story circulated “among the Jews” may imply that a different story, closer to the truth, circulated among the Romans.

Answer 9

Matthew seems to indicate that Jesus’ body vacated the tomb before the stone was rolled away. Thus, his body was able to pass through material objects in the same manner that John describes Yet, Jesus’ body is material since it is visible (Jn 28:9, 17) and tangible (jn 28:17) THe lingering doubt of Jesus’ disciples (28:17) shows that the resurrection appearances were not mass hallucinations by gullible persons Jesus’ appearance in the locked room demonstrates the special abilities of his resurrection body the scars on his hands and side confirm the resurrected body is the same body that was crucified and buried the joy of the disciples fulfills John 16:22 the exhaled breath and pronouncement recall Gen 2; Ezek 36; and fulfill the promise of the new covenant

Answer 10

OHN 20--different from Matthew account but not contradiction. Matthew is the outpouring of the spirit on the dead saints, the Johannine is the outpouring of the spirit on alive saints. this outpouring is transforming the hearts and lives of Jesus’disciples--spiritual regeneration as a new creation. What happens in Acts 20 is not purely symbolic.

Answer 11

go and teach are clear commands by not saying “as you go…” it is clear that the GC is an intentional command that requires Christians to intentionally share the gospel and not to be passive as our share the gospel.

Answer 12

the inclusio emphasizes Jesus’ identity as Immanuel “all authority” signals that Jesus’ exaltation as Son of Man has occurred in conjunction with his death and resurrection Jesus shared the Divine name of LORD with the father and spirit which makes it abundantly clear that he is God with us.

Answer 13

Baptism in the trinitarian formula is evidence of careful doctrinal instruction before baptism Post-baptismal instruction focused more on behavior since pre-baptismal instruction focused more on belief
