Day 5 - Maundy Thursday
Today is Maundy Thursday.
The day when they knew something was coming, but probably weren’t fully sure what.
Yet, God knew… Jesus knew… the Holy Spirit knew.
The most important, significant few days in history were upon them, yet they weren’t fully aware.
Please don’t be unaware of what Easter is really all about.
I love how Jesus spent the evening before with His disciples, eating, drinking and giving thanks.
Commonly known as the Last Supper.
However, there were a lot of difficult conversations at that table. Challenges about commitment, loyalty and betrayal.
Not a very comfortable supper, yet extremely memorable.
Jesus was not unaware of what was about to happen at that supper, yet He made space for those men regardless.
That whole supper time would have been a massive challenge not only for the disciples, but for Jesus Himself.
Sometimes, when faced with the enormity of what was about to happen… the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ, we too should see it as a massive challenge.
What is my relationship like with Jesus?
Am I faithful and am I loyal?
Am I double-minded and not sure?
Do I want part of this, or not?
Am I totally unaware of what Easter is all about?
Do I, in fact, have a relationship with Him at all?
Are my sins forgiven?
As we face the weekend that changes lives and history forever…
The weekend that conquered death and Hell.
The weekend that makes the difference between judgement and forgiveness.
The weekend that determines my eternity in Heaven or Hell.
Jesus comes to your table right now and says, “will you accept this body broken for you and the blood shed for you, and accept forgiveness for your sins?”
Or will you, like Judas, turn your back on the greatest sacrifice ever?
Don’t let tomorrow be a surprise or a shock to you. What is coming… He did for you.
Invite Him to your table right now and say, “Jesus, thank You. Forgive me of all my sin. I give my life to You.”
Your greatest ever Easter - will be this one.
