In the passage we are reading today, Jesus uses the event of the Passover to lead his disciples into a new understanding of being “passed over” by death and receiving life. In doing so Jesus presents something familiar but, typical of Jesus, he also presents a radically changed understanding to the old way of thinking which both challenges the disciples and causes disruption to their way of thinking.
