The Last Sacrifice

Luke 22:1-23

Washed and anointed,
The passover lamb;
Sold to the temple,
Was the great I am.

Judas against Jesus,
By Satan's command;
Arrested and betrayed,
Into enemies hands.

Jesus foreknew,
this night was God's plan;
"Prepare us a place,
Find the water man."

One Last Supper, 
To explain again;
God's gift for us,
The Passover Lamb

The disciples reclined,
At Jesus command.
He thanked His Father,
And the meal began.

This is my body,
For you it will be broken. 
This is my blood,
Poured out atonement.

God will pass over you,
Like He did before;
When a lamb was killed.
It's blood on the door.

A sacrifice made,
each year to cover sin;
Over and over,
To wash you clean again.

But God has now provided,
The final perfect lamb;
Who will give himself over,
Reconciling you to Him.

Eat of this bread.
Drink of this fruit.
Receive my gift of life.
As I lay mine down for you.

For God so loved,
He gave us His perfect Son,
The last sacrifice;
God's new Covenant.

​(From Luke 22)
