Luke 22:7-13 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.… Passover just at hand. Day of preparation. The Lamb to be offered is Himself. "Go and prepare — get ready — for Me; let it be heart-preparation." 1. This preparation was general. All Old Testament teachings, histories, prophecies, and events were a preparation for the death on the cross. "Go, prepare to meet Me around that table of commemoration." 2. When, or at what time, concerned the disciples. Your time to prepare is now. 3. The character of this command. Imperative. "Go." Now Grotius, who lived to be fifty before he made this preparation, said, "I have passed the whole of my life laboriously doing nothing." Cast away your sins, your prayerlessness. "I have lost ten years; I give the rest to Jesus," should be the resolution of youth. 4. You will need to carry nothing in there. The feast is prepared. (S. H. Tyng, D. D.)
