The Holiest of Weeks

     Before Jesus went to the garden to pray, He shared a last supper with His disciples. The impact of that last meal remains and resounds with us today. Each time we take the cup and the bread, we remember the finished work of the cross. His body given for us. His blood shed for us.

And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.". In the same way, after the supper, He took the cup saying, "this cup is the new covenant in My blood which is poured out for you." Luke 22:19-20

     Solemn and holy, this week of weeks. Remember what He did for you and for me. The cup and the bread. His blood and His body.  Given for us.

Jesus,
Let Your communion table be a sacred reminder of Your great sacrifice. You took it all. All of the agony and the punishment. We are devoted to You.
Amen
