Jesus, Our Portion

When Jesus and the disciples were in the upper room there was a sequence of events that shaped what was to come after that last supper.

Matthew 26:¹⁷ On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”

¹⁸ He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’” ¹⁹ So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. ²⁰ When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve.

Jesus gave His instructions in preparation for the passover meal, which we know as the Last Supper. His specific instructions were followed after He told His disciples to go into the city to a "certain" man and tell Him. The teacher says: My appointed time is near. Feast of Unleavened Bread: A week-long Jewish festival celebrated in conjunction with the springtime Passover.

Everything is set into motion and Jesus has set His life toward the end goal.
