And as they were eating, Jesus took bread and blessed it and break it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, take, eat, this is my body.

Matthew 2626.

Because you value service to others above all, I thank you, Jesus, that even at the last supper,

you chose to wash the feet of your disciples. In the midst of your most trying time,

you did not focus on yourself, but place the focus on serving others.

As this truth is illuminated before me,

I will make sure that this same character trait will remain in me,

even in the midst of my own trials.

I will not take my eyes off of your commission to love

and to serve one another.

When others around me seek to betray me for simple pleasures,

I thank you that their betrayal is the prerequisite to my promotion.

Whether it's the last supper or the last dance,

I will cherish each moment I get to break bread

and fellowship with my loved ones as you did, Jesus. I will remember that loving and leading

others is what legacy is all about. Your Passover will not pass over my heart,

but will be planted deep

so that you will be able to grow and flourish beautifully in my life.

In Jesus' name.

Amen.
