the EASTER/HOLY WEEK devotionals
part 5
Luke 22:15b-16
... With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; for I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God!
Jesus is getting ready to take the long walk to the cross- the Passover dinner is His way of saying good-bye to His 11 disciples -they have spent 3 years with JESUS - and He is now ready to leave them - He knows the cross is being prepared as He prepares to say good-bye - Jesus has just washed the feet of His followers- and Peter - in rare form - at first says for JESUS not to wash his feet- but when JESUS tells him he must- Peter responds with a request to have his head and hands cleaned too - Jesus was serving them one last time -before HE was to die - He heard the call of the Father and Judas has gone out to turn Jesus in - Jesus knows this and takes each moment and savors it - He wants to teach His followers one last thing - He says to Peter that he will deny HIM three times- He tells that one of them is going to turn Him over to the authorities to be killed - Jesus knew the time was at hand - and nothing short of the Father changing His mind would Jesus not die - JESUS was willing to do whatever it took to save us!
He suffered for us - He was willing to do this - He reminds His followers of the call to be His - a call that means we must live the life at all times - we may and sometimes will suffer for following Jesus but its worth it -
lets walk still closer to the cross - Jesus will soon be tried and committed to death for no crime at all - they say blasphemy -but since JESUS is GOD'S Son this is not possible- but the mission is to be competed and nothing was gonna stop this from happening - its time - JESUS is ready - lets head toward Good Friday and beyond - we must be ready to RISE and SHINE in all that we do and say - the day draws near - Lets remember JESUS!
The morning before the Passover - JESUS was getting ready - HE had much to do and very little time - the cross could not wait - the time was right - JESUS did this for you and me -praise HIM!
because CHRIST we can know what it means to serve others!
