We can derive strength, courage, and perspective from God’s longstanding and indomitable plan to build his Church in preparation of the establishment of his coming kingdom on earth.
We must purpose play a significant part in God’s “new covenant” plan to be empowered by his Spirit and take the message of forgiveness and Christ’s dominion to everyone around us.
Christ’s institution of the Lord’s supper in the presence of Judas should lead us to a vigilant introspection as we regularly and actively remember Christ’s death and coming kingdom.

Realizing our desperate need, we ought to trust the omnipotent Christ for salvation, willing to follow him in this life knowing that soon he will take his great power and begin to reign over all things.

Jesus shows that he has power over death, not as a representative of God, but as the Lord of life – an ultimate role that requires our allegiance and submission as his disciples.
Christ at his first coming displayed his credentials as the King of the coming Kingdom by healing some people of their illnesses, in part to remind us that he will one day vanquish all disease.
