Throughout the gospel accounts we see Jesus teaching Peter and the apostles so that they could be his ambassadors when Jesus finished his ministry and ascended back to heaven. We are now toward the end of Jesus’ earthly ministry as we have been looking at Peter’s life. In fact, Jesus has just instituted the Lord’s Supper so that future disciples would remember his body and his blood of the covenant every Lord’s day. After telling his disciples that he was about to be betrayed by one of his disciples and instituting the Lord’s Supper, Jesus and his disciples sing a hymn and then walk from Jerusalem through the Kidron Valley to the Mount of Olives. Please open your copies of God’s word to Matthew 26 and we are going to look at a very important teaching Jesus has for Peter and the apostles.
