Maundy Thursday


Before I had become a Christian I had never heard of Maundy Thursday. Of course I had heard of the Last Supper but never a specific day to remember what took place that night. Tonight I will be attending the Maundy Thursday service at church and am really looking forward to basically going back in time. Back to the day before all lives changed. I know that Jesus knew what he was doing...He knew what was going to happen but you would think he had to have been scared. How would you feel knowing this would be your last meal? And how great that even in the last moments, he used this opportunity to keep teaching. Always teaching till his last breath. I hope you will also take time to remember this day...
1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (Today's New International Version)
23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes
