April 9 : Luke 22

"This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me."
Today is the day before Jesus was crucified. He was taken into the hands of the Jewish leaders at that time and committed the most hanus crime in the history of mankind. Jesus was betrayed by the very people he came to save. I think it would be most appropriate to spend some time this Friday in remembrance of Him. We forget too often the price that was paid for our souls. Only on Easter do we realize the extend of God's love. During the last supper Jesus formed for us a ritual we do on Easter - drinking wine and eating bread. These two acts are really performed for us to remember Jesus, and what he has done. Jesus wanted this to be a special time. He asked a couple of his disciples to go and find a place where they can have this last supper. He made special arrangements for this final dinner to occur. We see that Jesus was trying to make a point that this was a very monumental time. Lets all take this next day and realize what Jesus has done for us. Lets truly thank Him.
