Here all Christians world wide would remember the body and blood given to us by Jesus Christ
Pastor Jerry read from Mark
14:12-16 regarding Jesus and his disciples preparing for the Passover
Celebration. I glean from his sermon.
You must remember that Jesus is a Prophet, teacher, healer and Messiah. Jesus being a prophet, knew all things in advance and he knew what was ahead.
It was at the feast of the Passover that Jesus tried to explain to his disciples what would come to pass in a few days and to give them comfort and hope.

Jesus Christ is after all the
hope of the World.
When an invitation goes out
to a party or to a wedding, there often are the initials: R.S.V.P. at the
bottom. Most people understand the
initials to mean that a reply is requested if they plan to attend.
Some will ignore the
initials, but show up anyway, and perhaps the host has not planned for enough
food, because some did not reply. That
could prove embarrassing to all.
Today 2.2 billion Christians
will celebrate “Communion” or the Lords Supper.
East, West, South and North will gather at the table to remember and to
search their hearts.
The ancient Passover
celebration recorded in the Bible was in an upper room, secured by Jesus. He instructed his disciples to look for a man
carrying a pitcher of water and to follow him and see where he goes. Then to ask the master of the house, “Our
teacher requests, where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with
My disciples?”
Then he will show you a large
upper room, furnished and prepared, there make ready for us.
It was unusual for a man to
carry water, because this was a woman’s job, so a man carrying a pitcher would
be easy to spot. Everything happened
just as Jesus said it would and they prepared the Passover as he instructed
them.
The habit in those days was
to recline and relax when dining. Jesus
was not in a hurry because this night was special. He was revealing a new truth that was
difficult to accept.
As we come to the table, we
may feel unworthy, but Jesus had made us worthy.
Jesus wants to give each of
us meaning for our lives.
Draw near to God and He will
draw near to you.
The invitation is going out. R.S.V.P.
