Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it.” They said to him, “Where will you have us prepare it?” He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters and tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ And he will show you a large upper room furnished; prepare it there.” And they went and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.(Luke 22:7-13 ESV)
When Jesus instructed His two most trusted disciples to arrange for the Passover, the big question was "where?" They were from out of town and would only know the streets of Jerusalem from their annual visits there. Rather than give them an address (123 Bethesda Street) or location, He sends them on a scavenger hunt of faith. One reason is to continue to teach us to trust Him every step of the way. (For the other reason, I'll see you Sunday.) He wants us to trust Him even when we don't know exactly where we're going or how to get there. He wants us to believe what He says and follow Him.
