Week 14 (The Cross of Christ) – Day 1: The Last Supper

Day 66 – The Last Supper – Luke 22:1-46

This week we will cover the most important events in history, to our time.  I don’t plan on commenting much. These passages speak for themselves. 

I am amazed at Jesus on the night before his death.  He not only must deal with what is ahead in the next eighteen hours, but also sees that his disciples, even after three years of personal teaching, are not ready.  The disciples display their unreadiness in many ways:  Judas’ betrayal, Peter’s denial, an argument over who is in charge and sleeping in the garden.

Yet, Jesus, even in what is arguably the worst night a human ever experienced, makes great promises to us.  Jesus gives us the Lord’s Supper, a promise to the disciples that they will eat with him in the coming kingdom, and prays for them.

We too, fail Jesus every day, yet we receive these same promises from Jesus, every day.

In Christ,

Randy
