Ques. 5. Was Judas Iscariot at the Lord's supper? T. C.
“He then having received the sop went immediately out;" As the sop belongs to the passover supper, we would judge that Judas left before the Lord's supper was instituted.
If Luke 22:2121But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. (Luke 22:21), was giving us the order in which it took place, then Judas was present.
It is therefore not meant for us to place importance on the point. A person might be there, who should not be there, but until evil is manifested we cannot put away. (1 Cor. 5:1313But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person. (1 Corinthians 5:13).)
Ques. 6
We might say, His work on the cross has prepared believers for the place: His presence with the Father in glory, has prepared the place for them.
