The Last Supper...A meal of celebration…a gathering of family most not even
aware of what was to truly happen, but a sharing so each one could remember His
instruction to drink from his cup as they would later literally in the days to
come. A reminder that they were family and the experience to come was to be
reflected upon and respected.
The Bible tells us, Jesus knew what was to come, yet He
bravely walked forward. The embarrassment of being stripped in front of so
many, being mocked, stuck, spit on, made to wear a crown of thorns, hung upon
the crucifix. He had a purpose and He fulfilled it…He could have called 10,000
angels…
Even in his dying moments He was true to the cause…and
glorified God.
Easter…celebrate your family…your experiences together…celebrate
your liberator…celebrate His willingness to provide what you needed at his
expense…celebrate His God…celebrate that He allows you to be a part of His
story…celebrate life…celebrate death… …may you be able to function past the
dread of whatever you have lying before you because you know He’s got this…all
wrapped up…may each day for you be as the child who with anticipation opens that
egg looking to discover what special treat is hidden inside…May you remember that
because He has risen, you can live triumphantly, too…and because He lives…you
can face tomorrow.
