David Gay writes: ‘It’s a bit of a leap, I know, but imagine you’ve been transported back in time – 2000 years, no less – and you’re sitting in a hired upper room in Jerusalem – a family room. You have joined a Jewish nomadic preacher and his Jewish friends, his followers, his disciples, who have taken this room in order to celebrate the high Jewish feast of Passover.

Naturally – that’s why they’re here – their Jewish minds are full of what happened at the original Passover, well over a thousand years before. The upper-room event is recorded in Matthew 26:17-29; Mark 14:12-25; Luke 22:7-23; John 13 – 17.

[I include the preacher’s prayer because it contains vital development of his teaching in the upper room]. As you can see, all four Gospel writers recorded the episode, and that, in itself, surely marks the lasting impression it must have made upon those who were there’.

Having started thus, the author proceeds to explore the significance of the upper-room event. As his subtitle puts it, it was epoch-changing.

Why not dip into his book? The author hopes that if you have not seen the significance of that final Passover, his work might prove a help. An audiobook of the author reading this work can be found on his sermonaudio.
