Jesus and His twelve disciples were eating a meal together, a Passover meal in an undisclosed location.  It was a private supper.  Betrayal was afoot.  And eleven of those men were clueless!  They had no idea of the treachery of Judas Iscariot.  They did not know that Judas had agreed to betray Jesus.  But […]

  Jesus finished washing the feet of each of His disciples…they ate the Passover meal and as they were eating Jesus instituted the communion supper among believers. (Luke 22:14-20)   Betrayal…is devastating, always.  And how did Jesus deal with the knowledge of His betrayer? (NASB) Luke 22:21 “But behold, the hand of the one betraying […]

  Jesus and the twelve were reclining at the Passover meal.  After He had washed their feet and as they were eating He said that He had earnestly desired to eat this Passover with them before He suffered.  Then He said: (NASB) Luke 22:17-20 “And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He […]

  The twelve disciples were alone with Jesus at the Passover meal.  Did they hear all the words of Jesus or did they let them “fall to the ground”?    Think about this, if someone says something we don’t understand, do we ignore the remark and latch onto what we do understand?  When Jesus spoke […]

The prayer of the week is based on Psalm 37:7-8   Lord God Almighty, Creator of the world and all it contains.  You alone are God and there is no other.    You remind Your people to rest, to be still before You.  You tell me to wait patiently for You.  Even when my circumstances […]

(NASB) Luke 22:14 “When the hour had come…”   Jesus sat at the table with His disciples…Judas Iscariot would leave to betray Jesus before Jesus gave some of the deepest truths of God to those eleven men.   Jesus earnestly desired, eagerly desired, to be there at that moment with those men.  (Luke 22:15)   […]

  Jesus talked to His disciples during the Last Supper.  Judas Iscariot was there also. (NASB) John 13:18-19 “I do not speak of all of you.  I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘HE WHO EATS MY BREAD HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.’ 19 […]

Where Jesus was   Jesus and His twelve disciples were in an upper room, alone.  No servants, no on-lookers, no one else, just those twelve men and Jesus.  They were eating the Passover meal in those hours just before Jesus would be arrested.  The disciples, at least eleven of them, had no clue that anything […]

(NASB) John 13:1 “NOW BEFORE the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that his hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.”   Love, godly love, agape love, looks beyond the present coming suffering […]

(NASB) Luke 22:14 “When the hour had come, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him.”   Normally these men and Jesus would have celebrated Passover with their families.   What did following Jesus entail for these twelve men during this particular Passover? They were sacrificing their time with their families on this […]
