     | 45 views

    Peter, James, and John, the” inner circle” of Jesus’ disciples, saw Christ in His Divine persona, with Moses and Elijah, “the Law and the Prophets” by His side, representing the whole of Scripture and a preview of His redemptive mission.

    based on 54 ratings
     | 8,539 views

    The power of the Lord’s Last Supper is lost on many of us because we fail to understand Jesus’ use of the word Cup; this sermon reveals how the Disciples understood Jesus saying "This is my body" and "Drink this to commemorate me."
