"Greeting Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"
Events of Holy Week Leading up to the arrest, trail, crucifixion, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Thursday Day 5
Event: Jesus Eats the Passover Meal and Institutes the Memorial Supper
Biblical Reference: John 13:1-30 "In verse one we see the love of Jesus for His disciples which was love without limits. Jesus gave everything and kept on going. We see now that Jesus took the role of the servant and washed the feet of His disciples which made them uncomfortable to have the Lord wash there feet. Peter being the outspoken disciple that he was told Jesus that He wasn't going to led Him wash his feet but when Jesus said, "If I do not wash you, you have no part of Me", Peter then tells the Lord, "to wash not only his feet, but also his hands and head." The washing represents the cleansing of the whole person by the inner transformation faith in Jesus accomplishes. Jesus here makes the implication of His act absolutely clear. He is both Teacher and Lord. Yet He humbled Himself to give us an example of the attitude we need to adopt toward others. We now see that that Judas had already made his bargain with the religious leaders to betray Jesus. Jesus statement let Judas know that He knew what he had planned and gave him a second chance to repent. Satan can only tighten his grip on those who make a decision to reject Jesus.
.
Biblical Reference: Mark 14:22-26 "In these verses Judas had already left the room and now Jesus institutes the Lord's Supper. The broken bread represented His body which would be broken for a sinful world. The cup represented Jesus' blood that would be shed for our sins. After partaking of the meal Jesus and His disciples head to the Mount of Olives.
Event: Jesus Prayer In Gethsemane
Biblical Reference: John 17 "In Chapter 17 of John we read about the intimate prayer of Jesus. In this High Priest Prayer, our Lord prays for Himself (verses 1-5), for His disciples (verses 6-19), and then He prays for all believers (verses 20-26).
Today's Hymn: "Christ Liveth In Me"
Once far from God and dead in Sin, No light my heart could see;
But in God's word the light I found, Now Christ liveth in me
Christ liveth in me, Christ liveth in me
Oh! what salvation is this, That Christ liveth in me.
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Thank you for giving us life and protecting us from harm. You are worthy of all our praise! Keep us always close to you and may the light of Jesus within us shine through that others will see His Love and Mercy in us and they will want what we have in You.
Amen

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord with Gladness. Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T", God whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".
Yours in Christ,
Cindi
