The Last Passover

While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you; for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins. But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”
Matthew 26:26-29 NASB1995‬

Jesus blessed the bread. The bread represents His body that was broken. Crucified.
Jesus gave thanks for the cup. The cup that represents His blood poured out for many for the forgiveness of sin.
Jesus made a promise. A promise of hope for all believers and followers of His. The next time He drinks of the fruit of the vine will be when all believers are gathered in His Father’s kingdom.

Meditate this week on Jesus and His ultimate, sacrificial giving of Himself for you. On Friday Christians will celebrate the Lamb of God who sacrificed His life for them. As we celebrate let us remember Jesus died for all mankind. Pray for the lost who do not know the gift Jesus has for them. Take an opportunity to share the good news with someone this week. Invite them to a Good Friday service or share what this day is all about.

Lord, turn our hearts to You.

Continually Seeking Him,
