Blood on the night in which He was betrayed
For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you,
that the Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread,

Hear, O Isra-el

And Moses called all Israel, and said to them: “Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your hearing today, that you may learn them and be careful to observe them.

שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָֽד׃

We suppose here (though possibly not specifically in celebrating this Last Seder) that JESUS at various times during His three-year leading of the Apostles routinely recited Scripture from their Jewish Bible to these Jewish disciples of the Messiah.

Exodus 12:

Now the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt.. Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, ‘On the tenth of this month they are, each one, to take a lamb for themselves, according to the fathers’ households, a lamb for each household.. Your lamb shall be an unblemished male.. You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month,

then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel is to slaughter it at twilight.

Moreover, they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it.

They shall eat the flesh that same night.. and they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

Now you shall eat it in this way: with your garment belted around your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in a hurry—it is the Lord’s Passover.

For I will go through the land of Egypt on that night, and fatally strike all the firstborn…

The Lord’s Supper (Blood of a New Covenant)

and after he had given thanks he broke it and said,
“This is my body, which is for you.
Do this in remembrance of me.”

The Gospel of Matthew

“How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread?—but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Matthew 16:11-12 NKJV

The New Covenant of Matthew 26: KJV

And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

“This cup

is the new covenant

in my blood.

Do this, every time you drink it, in remembrance of me.” – 1 Corinthians 11:25 NET

διαθήκη + a covenant

the last disposition which one makes of his earthly possessions after his death, a testament or will

“This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded you to keep.”

And both the tabernacle and all the utensils of worship he likewise sprinkled with blood. Indeed according to the law almost everything was purified with blood, and

וַיִּקַּח מֹשֶׁה אֶת־הַדָּם וַיִּזְרֹק עַל־הָעָם וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֵּה דַֽם־הַבְּרִית אֲשֶׁר כָּרַת יְהוָה עִמָּכֶם עַל כָּל־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵֽלֶּה׃

Shmot (Exodus) 24:8

בְּרִית

covenant, alliance, pledge
- between men
- between God and man
And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant H1285 which I have made with them.
Deuteronomy 31:16 KJV

Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, that is, Jesus our Lord, equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever.

Amen.

σκληροτράχηλος – a stiff-necked people
I must confess that one of my favorite phrases of conviction today comes from one of several sermons which was not well-received by its audience: Stiff-necked!

“You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you.
Acts 7:51 ESV – from Stephen preaching to the jews

σκληροτράχηλος – stiff-necked

Strong’s G4644 – sklērotrachēlos –

Pronunciation
sklay-rot-rakh’-ay-los

(Has a rather guttural insulting tone to it, don’t you think?)

We might easily dismiss this insulting word from Stephen in the New Testament of Jesus Christ.

But not so fast; for Luke tells us in Acts that Stephen is full of the Holy Spirit.

(If you or I were to say that to someone they might think us full of something other than the Holy Spirit, wouldn’t they?)

To accuse another of being ‘stiff-necked,’ while making our ‘religion‘ an idol, may look like hypocrisy.

Stephen: Witness and Martyr

“This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel,
‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear.’
- σκληροτράχηλος, σκληροτράχηλόν (σκληρός and τράχηλος), properly, stiff-necked;
  - tropically, stubborn, headstrong, obstinate:
  - Acts 7:51; the Sept. for עֹרֶף קְשֵׁה, Exodus 33:3, 5; Exodus 34:9; (etc.)
Stephen’s single use of ‘stiffnecked‘ people in the New Testament points to those who CLAIM the Old Covenant of the LAW of Moses.

Looking back to Moses – Stiff-necked Hebrews

Understand today the discipline of the LORD your God
- Do YOU, (children) claiming God as your Father and Jesus Christ as YOUR Lord know this one?
11:1 וְאָהַבְתָּ אֵת יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וְשָׁמַרְתָּ מִשְׁמַרְתּוֹ וְחֻקֹּתָיו וּמִשְׁפָּטָיו וּמִצְוֺתָיו כָּל־הַיָּמִֽים׃
Devarim (Deuteronomy) 11 :: Westminster Leningrad Codex (WLC)

Keep in mind that I am not talking now to your children, who have never experienced the discipline of the LORD your God or seen his greatness and his strong hand and powerful arm.
Devarim (Deuteronomy) 11:2

What is the difference between Discipline of the LORD & the Punishment of God?

Water covers the earth!

The LORD GOD wipes the slate clean! No more creatures on earth EXCEPT Noah.

And that was not even punishment, but pure judgment of the created men and women, fallen deeply into sin.

God’s created world may have had a flood or two in this past year of our Lord, BUT not like the first flood.

Covenant of our Forefathers

After the LORD cleanses creation, He makes a covenant with Abraham and gives His LAW through Moses.

Moses also makes a covenant with the LORD on behalf of Israel:

24:3 וַיָּבֹא מֹשֶׁה וַיְסַפֵּר לָעָם אֵת כָּל־דִּבְרֵי יְהוָה וְאֵת כָּל־הַמִּשְׁפָּטִים וַיַּעַן כָּל־הָעָם קוֹל אֶחָד וַיֹּאמְרוּ כָּל־הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר יְהוָה נַעֲשֶֽׂה׃
Exodus 24:3b KJV – .. and all the people answered with one voice, and said, ‘All the words which the LORD hath said will we do.’.

פָּקַד pâqad, paw-kad’; a primitive root; to visit (with friendly or hostile intent)
- to attend to, muster, number, reckon, visit, punish, appoint, look after, care for
“But go now, lead the people where I told you. Behold, My angel shall go before you; nevertheless on the day when I punish^H6485, I will punish^H6485 them for their sin.”
Then the LORD struck the people with a plague, because of what they did with the calf which Aaron had made.
Exodus 32:34-35 NASB20 – Strong’s H6485 = number (119x), visit (59x), punish (31x),

This is punishment: that the Lord attends to His own and that our reckoning will be by the hand of our Creator and Heavenly Father, who must punish His children who break our promises and violate our covenant.

Discipline of the LORD – יָסַר
- to chasten, discipline, instruct, admonish
“Out of the heavens He let you hear His voice to discipline^H3256 you; and on earth He let you see His great fire, and you heard His words from the midst of the fire. – Deuteronomy 4:36

“So you are to know in your heart that the LORD your God was disciplining^H3256 you just as a man disciplines^H3256 his son. – Deuteronomy 8:5

“.. but your own eyes have seen all the great work of the LORD which He did.

“You shall therefore keep every commandment which I am commanding you today..
Deuteronomy 11:8a

Punishment of God – פָּקַד
- visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children..
  - עָוֹן — ʿāôn – perversity, depravity, iniquity, guilt or punishment of iniquity
‘You shall not worship them nor serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, inflicting H6485 the punishment of the fathers on the children, even on the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,

Beware that your hearts are not easily deceived, and that you do not turn away and serve other gods, and worship them.

“Otherwise, the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you, and He will shut up the sky so that there will be no rain, and the ground will not yield its produce; then you will quickly perish from the good land which the LORD is giving you.
Deuteronomy 11:17 [11:16 quoted above]

‘You shall not worship them nor serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, inflicting the punishment of the fathers on the children, even on the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me..
Deuteronomy 5:9

Will you receive the Discipline of the LORD our Father OR Punishment for your Sins?

דברים 11

מוּסָר:: From יָסַר (H3256)

“Know this day that I am not speaking with your sons who have not known and who have not seen the discipline^H4148 of the LORD your God—His greatness, His mighty hand, His outstretched arm.. but your own eyes have seen all the great work of the Lord which He did.
Deuteronomy 11:2,7 on the discipline of the LORD. – NASB
