thursday night - the Last Supper of Jesus
for over 1,000 years israel celebrated passover - a spotless lamb dies - it's blood shed so someone can be saved
on this night the passover becomes the Lord's Supper - the lamb is no longer symbolic - Jesus has become The Spotless Lamb
on this night a new covenant will be bargained for in the garden - the price will be high - so high that the humanity of Jesus prays to be delivered from it - but only if there is another way - a different price - but there isn't - the love of Jesus prevails - He accepts the covenant terms
and tomorrow the price of the covenant will be paid - an extravagant price - the sinless life of Jesus - His precious blood - His unbroken body
but this night - only hours left in His life - He longs to spend with His friends - a last chance to laugh with them - a last chance to challenge them - a last chance to serve them - a last supper
as this week draws to a close - remember - He came for you - to reconnect you and God - to know you - enjoy time with you - don't be too busy to give Him the honor of your presence
it's thursday - tonight will be a long night for Jesus - even so His thoughts are on those called His friends - shouldn't His friends be thinking of Him too?
