Summary
The Last Supper, shared by Jesus and His disciples, is commemorated on this Holy Thursday also known as Maundy Thursday. This meal was rich in symbolic meaning. We are all invited to come together as one family, to the table of our Lord.
Matthew 26:26-30 (NIV) - "While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, 'Take and eat; this is my body.' Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, 'Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.'"
This night would end with Jesus going to the Garden of Gethsemane, where he would ultimately be betrayed, arrested, and deserted by his disciples.
You are invited to remain with Jesus in the garden of prayer where He prayed to the Father.
"My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done." - Matthew 26:42
The Daily Still Meditations are written and hosted by Cindy L. Helton, with production from Soundgood Media.
