The Last Supper

There was no doubt in Jesus’ mind how this was going to happen…

Luke 22:7-13
Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

9 “Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked.

10 He replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, 11 and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.”

13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

His friends. His followers. His brothers, followed His direction and found just what Jesus told them that they would find. He directs them to where they would find what was needed to complete any task ahead of them, which in this case would be their last meal together.

Jesus has done the same for us. He has left us instructions in order to prepare for the feast to come with our Redeemer and Creator. He will welcome us with open arms on that faithful day. Until then, we must travel to strange places, to new territory, to never before known locale, even in our homes and work places, that will bring us closer to His plan for our lives. We must trust in Him.

Do not try to go ahead of the Holy Spirit and do it your way. Instead, pray and ask that God’s will be done in your life, with His perfect timing, through His perfect plan. When you do, that which you thought was impossible becomes not only possible, but magnified and revealing for so many. It is through the gifts of patience and a discerning mentality that you will begin to hear the Holy Spirit speak to you with instruction. This is done through reading the written word, speaking that written word, then living the word and becoming a living, breathing, walking prayer that will bless with even your shadow.

Thank you Jesus. Thank you for your instructions you have left us in the Holy Bible, and for your gift of the Holy Spirit that walks with us and lives in us. Oh Emmanuel, we love you and are humbly thankful for all the many riches that you have so gratefully bestowed upon us. We are only worthy because of your gift of salvation and redemption that is found in only you. We love you.

Amen!
