Matthew 26:26 - Eat the Lamb
* Christ was about to eat the Last Supper and celebrate the Passover.
* This pointed back to the night the angel of death “passed over” the Israelite houses in Egypt.
* It was more than just the blood over the doorposts, it was about eating the lamb that was slain.
* Vs 26 - When Christ administered it to the disciples He actually told them, “this is MY body / this is MY blood.”
* When you eat something you take the

of that thing and make it a part of you.
* When we eat of Christ, His life gets inside of us and us from the inside out, just like food does to us physically.

* You won’t do things unless they make sense.
* Vs 6-7 - David lists two things that can take our focus off God:
* 1) - things a person can make.
* It’s the equivalent of a - we can learn it.
* 2) - things God makes.
* It’s the equivalent of a - God gives it to us.
* Chariots and Horses were essential to win a battle, and God wanted David to use them.
* But he was not to put his trust in those things above God.
