The Last Supper

The end seems to come quickly for us as we read. Jesus knew what was coming though, and He gave Himself freely for us…

Mark 14:12-26
12 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”

13 So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. 14 Say to the owner of the house he enters, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15 He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

16 The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

17 When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve. 18 While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.”

19 They were saddened, and one by one they said to him, “Surely you don’t mean me?”

20 “It is one of the Twelve,” he replied, “one who dips bread into the bowl with me. 21 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

22 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body.”

23 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

24 “This is my blood of the[c] covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to them. 25 “Truly I tell you, I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

26 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

The preparations made for The Last Supper are nothing short of amazing. Each piece had been prepared and set in place so that the gift of Salvation would be given in the perfect way at the perfect time, just as prophecy had predicted.

Jesus has allowed to eat with Him. Although we are the reason that He came to earth, and that reason was for our salvation, He still came and saved all of us. He still broke bread with those that would kill Him. He loved even those that sought to hurt Him. Why?

Love. Pure and unconditional love. A love that is so unfathomable that it brings man to their knees. It’s a blinding love. One that requires on KY one thing to receive it. Say the name of Jesus. Cry out to Jesus, from your heart.

Last night my daughter and I gave it shot together. We held hands and she cried out to Him. She immediately felt His presence. She believed before, but she cane to speak with me later and said she felt Him with us. She was giddy with laughter. The Holy spirit was with us. He is always with us. We only need to ask for His help.

Today, when you are out and about, lift your hands high to the Lord God the Father, and profess your love for Him. It may feel strange the first time. It did for me, but that will pass. He just wants your heart. Give Him your heart today. #JesusSaves

Amen.
