Speaker: Pastor Mason Smith of Multination Church Frankfurt

Sermon Scripture: Matthew 26:17-30

Opening Scripture: Revelation 3:20

Theme: Wake up and pay attention to Jesus

The disciples thought that they were simply enjoying a nice Passover meal with their teacher. But suddenly Jesus turns the meal upside down with an incredible sign. He rattles the solemn purpose of the ancient ritual with a shocking claim about his body and blood. We can imagine that the disciples were caught off guard and perplexed. Jesus often catches us off guard. This is because he did not come to give our lives ease and balance, but to make us uneasy and set us off balance enough to realize where we stand, to wake us up, to shock us back to life.
