Narration 3
Narrator 1: Following the Passover meal, Jesus shared with His
disciples about the days to come and the challenges
they would face. He foretold of how they, in fulfillment
of the prophecies, would fall away, even in spite of
their declarations of steadfast faithfulness.
Narrator 2: He offered assurances: "Trust in God and trust in Me.
I am going to prepare a place for you. But I will come
back and take you to be with me." He promised them
that God would give them a Counselor in His physical
absence, the Holy Spirit. "Peace I leave you; my peace I
give you. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not
be afraid."
Narrator 1: Following these intimate moments, they went to a place
of solitude and prayer: Gethsemane. On this day when
many were recalling the Passover experience which
had been at the heart of Israel's exodus from Egypt,
Jesus fully embraced God's plan for His life; a plan that
would result in Him becoming the sacrificial Lamb for
the redemption of the world.
