And as they were eating, he took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it.Mark 14:22-24
Easter week day 4 was when Jesus had the last supper and celebrated communion and washing of feet with His disciples. This would be the last day of any kind of joy. He knew what awaited him.
You and I often don’t know what awaits us but you do know that Jesus’ died a horrible death beyond imagination all for us. He paid once and for all for all of our sins past, present, and future.
It breaks His heart I am sure when those who once knew Him and followed Him get caught up in believing the lies of the modern culture instead of the truth in God’s word. If you have a family member straddling the fence keep praying and believe the Holy Spirit is at work. Don’t cave in to worry. Pray for eyes to be open, ears unstopped and His voice clearly heard.
PRAYER: Help people realize Easter is not about baby chicks, egg hunts, bunnies, and pretty clothes. Lord forgive me when I fail to appreciate the magnitude of this most Holy day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
