Today is the beginning of the end. Today is the day Jesus gathered with his followers to celebrate Passover, one of the most significant events in the history of the Jews. They were getting ready for freedom. The blood of the lamb was splashed on their door posts using hyssop plants as paintbrushes to protect themselves from the angel of death. This tradition is still practiced by the Jews in modern times to commemorate God's deliverance from slavery.
Four cups are used during the celebration of Passover. Something was missing when Jesus led this celebration during the Last Supper. It was the same technique story tellers use when they reveal the plot called foreshadowing. Anyone who understands the Sader knows that the celebration is complete when all four cups are used. Jesus entered the garden to pray before the fourth cup. Why? Because Jesus was the fourth cup. The Romans tasked with the crucifixion offered Jesus wine using a hyssop plant to reach him. Then he died. It was finished. It was the end which brought us to the beginning. The Alpha and the Omega did this for us. Keep this in mind today. Have a great day.
