The King of Death Defeated
"Jesus has forced open a door that had been locked
since the death of the first man. He has met, fought,
and beaten the King of Death. Everything is different
because he has done so." -- C. S. Lewis
"When the hour came, He [Jesus] took His place at the
table, and the apostles with Him. He said to them, 'I
have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you
before I suffer; for I tell you, I will not eat it
until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.' Then He
took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, 'Take this
and divide it among yourselves; for I tell you that
from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine
until the kingdom of God comes.' Then he took a loaf of
bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and
gave it to them, saying, 'This is my body, which is
given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.' And he
did the same with the cup after supper, saying, 'This
cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in
my blood'" (Luke 22:14-20, RSV).
