12 On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover Lamb is sacrificed, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where would you like us to prepare the Passover meal for you?”
13 So he sent two of his disciples ahead into Jerusalem with these instructions: “Make your way into the city and watch for a man carrying an earthenware pitcher of water. Follow him, 14 and say to the owner of whatever house he enters, ‘The Teacher wants to ask you: “Do you have my room ready where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?”’ 15 And he will show you a large upstairs room ready and with a table set. Make preparations for us there.”
16 So they went into the city and found everything to be exactly like Jesus had prophesied, and they prepared for him the Passover meal. 17 And when evening came, he entered the house and went upstairs with his twelve disciples. 18 Over dinner, while they were reclining around the table, Jesus said, “Listen to the truth: One of you eating here with me is about to betray me.”
19 Feeling deeply troubled by these words, one after another asked him, “You don’t mean me, do you?”
20 He answered, “It is one of you twelve who has shared meals with me as an intimate friend. 21 All that was prophesied of me, the Son of Man, is destined to soon take place, but it will be disastrous for the one who betrays the Son of Man. It would be far better for him if he had never been born!”

I have had a couple of dreams that foretold events that were going to take place. And then when they happened exactly as the dream said they would it was a confirmation that the dream was indeed from God Himself. When Jesus prophesied about this event and then his disciples experienced it just as He said they would it was another confirmation that Jesus was indeed sent from God Himself and was the true promised Messiah!

This is what it means to live by the Spirit. Jesus set an example for us in how he lived and obeyed God.
