- My Quotes: "To boldly go where no Jesus Freak has ever gone before... I'll be back in time for dinner. ~Mr. Blake
Scripture:
Luke 22:7-34
Consider the following; what are the special meals in your family: Thanksgiving? Christmas? Sundays? Birthdays? Or could it be those love ones at the table? Having a meal with those who you love is important today; I remember that as a child that is wasn't the food (sorry mom) but the events at the table, fellowshiping, laughing and eating. It was also when my brother asked for a dinner role, who was at the end of the table; I thought to myself, why not throw it down to him.... I think in the end it was that priceless moment at the table together with each other, learning and growing as a family....
Many wondered why Jesus had a last meal with His disciples; it was His time to give one more moment, one more final teaching with His disciples; so they can continue to teach God's word with all nations!! Churches today have the last supper during Worship services; the Lord's Supper to "do this in remembrance of me"! Jesus took our place on the cross for our sin, because of the grace and love that God has for us, His children! How could we ever repay or come close to the price of His son taking our place on the cross?
Jesus was trying teach His disciples to be more like a servant to all those whom they meet. As brothers and sisters in Christ, we set aside a moment in our life, not just to eat the bread and grape juice, but to remember Him. Remember that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, remember the hope, that Christ will return, remember that Christ will make a place for us in heaven, remmber that even when we fall short, God is with us!!
Making it Personal:
In what areas do you find it hard to be like a servant?
