Before continuing, one thing needs to be said, we did not get into the elements of the meal nor deed we cover the fact that the very evening and morning of Christ's betrayal the sheep had been gathered and the inspection of them had begun. So while Jesus was standing before the court of priest's there assembled and being grilled and inspected by them others were also doing the same with the animals for sacrifice. Of which one goat was chosen it had a red or scarlet cord tied about its throat or horns and was lead outside the city to the hill country there to be released. But Jesus was lead through the same streets and those who had just before laid hands on the scape goat and confessed their sins now were the same ones jeering at Him as He made His way outside the city to the hill of execution. Can we get hold of the paradox here?
Now we'll look at
the hymns song by the Lord and His disciples after the Feast of
Passover and I'll let them speak for themselves.
Psalm
116:1-19
“I
love the LORD, because He has heard my voice and
my supplications. Because He has inclined His ear unto me, therefore
will I call upon Him as
long as I live. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of
hell gather hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I
upon the name of the LORD; O LORD,
I beseech You, deliver my soul. Gracious is
the LORD, and righteous; yes, our God is
merciful. The LORD preserves the simple: I was brought low, and He
helped me. Return unto your rest, O my soul; for
the LORD has dealt bountifully with me. For You have
delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and
my feet from falling. I will walk before the
LORD in the land of the living. I believed, therefore have I spoken:
I was greatly afflicted: I said
in my haste, All men are
liars. What shall I render unto the LORD for
all His benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation, and
call upon the name of the LORD. I will pay my
vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all His people.
Precious in the sight of the LORD is
the death of His saints. O LORD, truly I am
Your servant; I am
Your servant, and
the son of Your handmaid: You have loosed my bonds.
I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon
the name of the LORD. I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the
presence of all His people, In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the
midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.”
Psalm
117:1-2
“O
praise the LORD, all you nations: praise Him, all you people. For His
merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD
endures
for ever. Praise the LORD.”
Psalm
118:1-29
“O
give thanks unto the LORD; for He
is good: because His mercy
endures
for ever. Let Israel now say, that His mercy endures
for ever. Let the house of Aaron now say, that His mercy endures
for ever. Let them now that fear the LORD say, that His mercy
endures
for ever. I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me,
and set me
in a large place. The LORD is
on my side; I will not fear: what can man do
unto me? The LORD took my part with them that help me: therefore
shall I see my
desire upon them that hate
me. It is
better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It
is better to trust in the
LORD than to put confidence in princes. All
nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I
destroy them. They compassed me about; yes, they compassed me about:
but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. They compassed me
about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the
name of the LORD I will destroy them. You have thrust sore at me that
I might fall: but the LORD helped
me. The LORD is
my strength and song, and is become my salvation. The voice of
rejoicing and salvation is
in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right
hand of the LORD does valiantly. The right hand of the LORD is
exalted: the right hand of the LORD does valiantly. I shall not die,
but live, and declare the works of the LORD. The LORD has chastened
me sore: but He has not given me over
unto death. Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into
them, and I
will praise the LORD: This gate of the LORD,
into which the righteous shall enter. I will praise
You: for You have heard me, and are become my salvation. The stone
which
the builders refused is become the head stone
of the corner. This is the
LORD'S doing; it is
marvelous in our eyes.
This is
the day which
the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad
in it. Save now, I beseech You, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech You, send
now prosperity. Blessed be
he that comes in the name of the LORD: we have blessed You out of the
house of the LORD. God is
the LORD, which has shown us light: bind the sacrifice with cords,
even
unto the horns of the altar. You are
my God, and I will praise You: You
are my God, I will exalt
You. O give thanks unto the LORD; for He
is good: for His mercy
endures for
ever.”
These are the
customary hymns song after the taking of the Passover and if we'll
pay particular attention to them we'll learn of their spiritual Truth
and reality.
I'll attempt to
bring this to a reasonable conclusion. To do this we need to look
again at our scripture where we find that we're to examine our own
selves to see if we have already received the revelation of Christ in
me (Galatians 2:20). If we have there remains no more need to repeat
this table and alter of the LORD because His being in us is the table and our alter in our flesh. Then to do
so we are refusing His ontological presence and rule of His kingdom
and Priesthood which we now are one with. In simple other words, we crucify again the Lord to our selves by so doing and this is unbelief to the max. Its saying that all the revelation of Him is nothing to us and that we have to follow the few who walk contrary to God by the common practice of man made customs rites and ceremonies of men.

Corinthians 11: 28-32
“But let
a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that
bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation to himself, not discerning
the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak
and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge
ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are
chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the
world.”
