Saturday, March 26 A lecture overflowing with grace was taught by Pastor Deborah during the 2nd day of the North East region Easter retreat From John Chapter 18 1:40.
Pastor Deborah preached "Now we will see the last moment of the lords life. The most painful moment of the cross. " she added "His disciples could not see how it was affecting him, the coming cross. They didn't quite understand. We are very lucky to see what he prayed, how he served them in his final hour. These beautiful pictures are here as blessings for us every Easter."
This was the Israel Passover season. The people were once slaves and God released them, but before he did, he taught them to keep this tradition. Through this event, they were freed. Jesus celebrated it himself. …show more content…
In John, it was said that he did it 3 times. The last supper was his final celebration, and after it, the cross was coming.
The pastor expressed as she went beyond verse one that "Judah wasn't a special case from the other diciples. When Jesus wahsed their feet, Judah was washed too. And when Jesus took them to the mount of olives, he took him as well. He was close and intimate with Jesus in those 3 years of the ministry. He was just as much a part of the community of Christ as any on of us today. Jesus loved and trusted him. but Judah took that trust, that love, and misused it because he was blind inside.

"It's crazy to me every time I study the gospels and see how horrible the people were to him and were in general. I mean, it gets deeper and deeper each time I read. I never knew Barabbas name meant son of God(therefore actually being blasphemous in itself). Pilot couldn't find any charge, but his political ties lead him to give in. But the fact that the people hated Jesus so much that they would let a murder, a rebel, a true blasphemer go is insane to me. There is so much depth to our sin and I'm blessed to get to see the truth about mankind(Me included). learning this helps me desire change"
Another testimony was shared. "The irony of the Jews doing so much just to celebrate the Passover while doing everything in their power including breaking laws to murder an innocent man shows me why religion in the form of rule following is dead. The heart can be corrupt while people act as if they are good. But following Jesus is what we truly
