Great Sermon! Brother Strauch,
Thank-you for this wonderful look at Passover as celebrated by our Lord. You showed how Luke shows us 2 different cups separated by bread in the feast. You identified this as a glimpse at some of the elements traditionally observed in the Seder. You then go on to call the second cup and the bread that Luke shows "new symbols." In what way are these new? Are you arguing that in this final Seder celebrated by Jesus during his earthly ministry He had 5 cups and 2 Afikomens? Would it be inaccurate to rather see the "cup after supper" and the bread as the normal traditional elements enjoyed by Israelites through the ages, but now, here, with the very person and act they had always symbolized fully revealed to Jesus's disciples for the first time in history?
