Remembrance

Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover." "Where do you want us to prepare for it?" they asked. He replied, "As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, and say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?' He will show you a large upper room, all furnished. Make preparations there."They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. and he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God."
After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, "Take this and divide it among you. For I tell you I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes." And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you..."


Do you see this? He says, "When you celebrate this meal, you remember Egypt, Moses, the blood your ancestors put on their door frames, the Spirit of God passing over them, sparing them...Continue doing this, but now I say to you, remember Me. I am the fulfillment of all of your people's history. Now remember Me. "


Remembering on this glorious day of Jesus' Epiphany. Grace and Peace to you.

Shalom

anticipation

the resurrection comes...

binding up the broken heart, opening the blind eyes, setting the imprisoned free, canceling debts, removing veils, reviving that which was dead in me.
such holy significance unleashed.
Oh! How great was your suffering, and how great is my hope!

tomorrow.
