Thinking about the Passover...

The last supper....

How Jesus longed to have that time with his disciples to try to leave them what he could..how he hosted and washed their feet knowing that in hours they would abandon him, deny him...

All Jesus had to leave behind we're his words and his followers hands. He didnt even have a pillow on which to lay his head.  Seriously think about what the last supper is? It's a celebration of the Passover where the people of Israelites enslaved by the Egyptians had to sacrifice a lamb so the angel of death would not take their first born...

Jesus...the sacrificial lamb the first born of God...perfect... He knew and still he served. Do you think the disciples at ought months years down the road ever fully realized the mind boggling events of that night?  Do you even get it as you come before The Lord to take the body and the blood for the forgiveness of your sins?

We all want to complain how hard life is....but none of us have had to walk the path Jesus walked nor will we ever. His friends betrayed him, his father left him went to hell, and he lost his life all in the same 48 or so hours...

And for what? For the people that killed him, the people that sin time after time after time that to this day break his heart...he died for them

He died for you...I don't feel like is drove that point home to the kids enough this week. Do they even understand what things are sin....then again do we?

Lord give me a humble heart and the grace to make wise choices in this life. Thank you for the gift the promise of a life to e we gain through the agony your son suffered on the cross. We all have sinned and fallen short...and we all have been forgiven...alleluia Amen.
