The Walk of Jesus : Holy Week 2010• The Last Super - Wednesday

Luke 22:15 & 16
...and He said unto them: "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 of thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of GOD!"

Today we are visiting the last supper of JESUS and HIS followers - Jesus said that He desired to have dinner with them before He was to suffer - the suffering would come a few hours after this dinner - Jesus knew this was the last time He would eat until He returned from the dead - He knew His time was short - He had his 11 find a place to hold this Last Supper - they did as He told them and it was set - the date with destiny was set - Jesus would eat with them one more time until He rose again and met them on the shore to eat fish - right now Jesus was talking to His followers and having a heart to heart - His time was short - it was during this dinner that Judas - filled with hate and evil - went into the night to sell Jesus to the religous leaders - Jesus' friend and follower had turned away and did the unthinkable - Judas sealed the deal - Jesus would be on the cross soon -
Judas only cared for himself - in the end - he ended his own life - Jesus washed the feet of the 12 - but one left - this dinner was His last - until He rose again - those who remained after Judas left - would soon suffer as well -
thier Savior would be taken away - and be charged like a common crimial except without sin - this dinner was very important - it was the last time JESUS would eat with His followers like this - in the future things would be different -
Jesus was showing them what it means to follow God - it means laying down your life - and giving yourself to others -
Jesus knew the cross was coming - He knew the pain He would endure - and He deemed us worth it!

Jesus is walking closer and closer to the cross - it's just up the hill - after prayer in the garden and arrest - Jesus would be lifted up - JESUS would die for our sins - and rise again....
Let's remember this last supper and when we celebrate it - remember what JESUS did for us - His great sacrifice is enough - it's all we need -

Let's sit at the table and recieve what GOD has for us -
let's worship JESUS and LORD and SAVIOR - not just over Holy Week -but over our whole lives..

Tomorrow we go to the garden - the place Jesus was when they took Him away to die - let's walk the path from the donkey ride to the open grave!

JESUS loves us so much that He willingly laid down HIS life - no one could take it from HIM - He laid it down! That's love!

Coming Tomorrow -
• The Garden
Coming Good Friday -• The Cross
Coming Holy Saturday -• The Grave
Coming Easter Sunday -
• The Resurrection & Livin In Prayer!
Stay tuned!

EASTER NOTES:
JESUS knew the cost HE would pay at the Cross - and yet HE Did not turn back - let's not turn back on our faith - but follow even when the way is not clear - JESUS did this for us!!!!
