I couldn’t hear the rest of his sermon. My mind began racing ahead in search of a solution.
Here's where ole Scott messed up...He should have kept his mouth shut and his ears open...
The narrative does not explain his refusal, but it probably points back to Jesus’ pledge not to drink until his Kingdom is manifested in glory.
What Scott might have learned had he paid attention is that the Kingdom Jesus was referring to was a Spiritual Kingdom...NOT a physical Kingdom...
Luk 17:20 And being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God should come, he answering them and said: The kingdom of God cometh not with observation.
Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say: Behold here, or behold there. For lo, the kingdom of God is within you.
AT LAST I had an answer to my question. It was the Passover that was now finished. More precisely, it was Jesus’ transformation of the Passover sacrifice of the Old Covenant into the Eucharistic sacrifice of the New Covenant.
Uh, Scott made this up...It's not scriptural...Scott didn't get it then and he doesn't get it now...
You said: What Scott might have learned had he paid attention is that the Kingdom Jesus was referring to was a Spiritual Kingdom...NOT a physical Kingdom...
I respectfully, but completely, disagree with your personal interpretation of Holy Scripture.
