The Covenant Of Redemption
God’s Self‑Binding Plan of Grace In Biblical theology the Covenant of Redemption occupies a central place in the story of salvation.

The Converse By The Way
Finding Strength in the Garden: A Modern Reflection on Peter’s Struggle In the quiet of Gethsemane, Jesus faced the looming reality of the cross.

The Passover meal had been observed in the usual Jewish way: the lamb was eaten, the ceremonial cup was passed around, and the songs of praise—“Hallel”—filled the room.

The Passover
The Passover is the most important and joyous festival for Israel—a celebration of the people’s birth that has been observed for fifteen hundred years. Each year its occurrence reminds us of God’s historic rescue of Abraham’s descendants from the destroying angel’s sword, a rescue secured by the blood of lambs (Passover Story). As a memorial

Christ Washing His Disciple’s Feet
In the hours before the Passover feast, Jesus gathered his closest followers in a friend’s home in Jerusalem. The night was heavy with anticipation: the Master knew his time on earth was ending, yet he lingered with those he loved, showing them a depth of affection and peace that surpassed any previous experience. The disciples
