Overview

Let not your hearts be troubled … In a borrowed or rented banqueting room atop some shop or large family dwelling in Jerusalem, the drama unfolded. Jesus and His disciples were standing on the precipice of the darkest night in the history of the world. The Lord of glory was about to be betrayed and murdered. The disciples would be scattered, and the boldest of them would deny even knowing Him. The Lord knew full well that He Himself would soon undergo an unimaginable deluge of woe. He would be spit on and mocked by evil men. He would bear the sins of the world. He would be cursed with the wrath of God for others’ sins. He would feel as if His Father had utterly abandoned Him. Any other man in that situation would have been in such a state of uncontrollable agitation that He would never have been able to focus His attention on the needs of others–but Jesus was different. He wanted His followers to know the peace of the One who has overcome the world. During those final hours before Jesus’ betrayal, He gave His disciples–and consequently, all believers throughout history–His parting promises, His last will and testament. It is the inheritance of every believer in Christ. In The Upper Room, Pastor John MacArthur takes us back to that night and the glorious hope we have in Christ. This is vintage MacArthur–an exposition of the text that resonates with devotion to the Lord and love for God’s people, calling us to know and to love the One who loved us to the end.
