“the liberation of God’s people from slavery in Egypt. That act of liberation was a picture of the bigger, deeper liberation from the enslavement of sin and death that Jesus would accomplish through his death. But these words also point to the goal of this meal. God liberated his people from Egypt so that they might be free to worship him. And Jesus liberates us from sin so we might be free to enjoy him. Jesus longs to be with us, to meet with us around the table, to love us and to receive our love in return. This, too, is enacted in the Last Supper.”
