In The Upper Room | Luke 22:1-23 | Pastor John Miller

We are standing on holy ground. In this profound study of Luke 22:1–23, Pastor John Miller begins the narrative of the Passion—the final journey of Jesus to the Cross. As the Feast of Unleavened Bread draws near, the "Prince of Life" prepares to fulfill the very types and shadows established centuries earlier in Egypt. Pastor John explores the heavy atmosphere of the Upper Room, from the dark betrayal of Judas Iscariot to the tender washing of the disciples' feet. Discover how Jesus transitioned from the Old Covenant Passover to the New Covenant Lord’s Supper, identifying Himself as the true substitutionary Lamb. Learn why a true Christian cannot be demon-possessed, how God’s sovereign plan works alongside human responsibility, and the six specific ways Jesus perfectly fulfilled the requirements of the Passover Lamb. This message is a call to look back at the Cross with thanksgiving and look forward to the Kingdom with hope. In this study, you will discover: - Ownership and Security: Why the "Sealing of the Holy Spirit" protects believers from demonic possession. - The Feast Chronology: Understanding the relationship between the 10th of Nisan (selection) and the 14th of Nisan (sacrifice). - The Mystery of Judas: How Satan influenced the betrayer and why man remains responsible for his choices. - The "Man with the Water Pitcher": Exploring the providential signs Jesus used to keep the Upper Room's location a secret from Judas. - Reclining at the Table: A cultural look at the U-shaped table and the intimate positioning of the disciples. - Substitutionary Atonement: Defining the "Eucharist" and why the bread and cup are symbolic memorials of Christ's finished work. 📺 WATCH THE FULL SERIES: Catch up on the entire verse-by-verse study through the Gospel of Luke here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP9sIJpVEMLKl-Yf93BLg8t9b8KOGIAmC 🕒 Video Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction: Can a Christian be demon-possessed? 01:23 - Standing on Holy Ground: The Majesty of the Passion 03:52 - Section 1: The Setting and the Sanhedrin’s Plot (Verses 1-2) 06:30 - The History of the Passover: From Egypt to the Cross 08:45 - Section 2: Satan Enters Judas (Verses 3-6) 10:45 - Sovereignty vs. Free Will: Reconciling God's Plan and Man's Choice 12:40 - Ownership and Security: The Seal of the Spirit 15:00 - Section 3: Preparation for the Meal (Verses 7-13) 17:25 - The Man with the Pitcher: A Providential Secret 20:00 - Section 4: The Last Passover (Verses 14-18) 21:35 - Reclining on the Dinner Bed: The U-Shaped Table 23:50 - "With Desire I Have Desired": The Emphatic Longing of Christ 26:30 - The Millennium: Jesus' promise of a future literal Kingdom 28:55 - A Note on Communion: The importance of partaking together 31:40 - Section 5: The Lord’s Supper Instituted (Verses 19-20) 33:20 - Memorial vs. Transubstantiation: This is My Body 35:40 - The New Covenant: Jeremiah 31 and the Forgiveness of Sins 37:15 - Section 6: Revealing the Betrayer (Verses 21-23) 40:18 - Rapid Fire: 6 Ways Jesus is our Passover Lamb ⛪️ Connect with Revival Christian Fellowship We are a church located in Menifee, CA, dedicated to the expository, verse-by-verse teaching of God's Word.
