Maundy Thursday
Scripture📖:Luke 22:19-20
Thank God It’s Thursday!
Today is MAUNDY Thursday!
On Maundy Thursday, Christians commemorate the day on which Jesus Christ shared the Last Supper with his 12 apostles, prior to his crucifixion.
In addition to the HOLY COMMUNION here are some of the things the gospels record for this day (including events that happened after midnight).
Jesus:
▪Sent Peter and John to arrange for them to use the Upper Room to hold the Passover meal.
▪Washed the apostles’ feet.
▪Held the first Holy Communion.
▪Instituted the priesthood.
▪Announced that Judas would betray him.
▪Gave the “new commandment” to love one another.
▪Indicated that Peter had a special pastoral role among the apostles.
▪Announced that Peter would deny him.
▪Prayed for the unity of his followers.
▪Held all the discourses recorded across five chapters of John (John 13-18).
▪Sang a hymn.
▪Went to the Mount of Olives.
▪Prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane.
▪Was betrayed by Judas.
▪Stopped the disciples from continuing a violent resistance.
▪Healed the ear of Malchus, the high priest’s servant, after Peter cut it off with a sword.
▪Was taken before the high priests Annas and Caiaphas.
▪Was denied by Peter.
▪Was taken to Pilate.
Of course Christians connect most to the Holy Communion aspect of today.
In todays scripture Jesus & the disciples are at the last supper and my Bible says,
➡️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.⬅️
One of the sacraments (A sacred act or ceremony in Christianity) of New Testament Christianity is the Holy Communion.
This ceremony that I believe you may have taken part in before is done in remembrance of JESUS CHRIST.
Additionally it has spiritual and physical effect on us even after more than 2000 years.
After JESUS gave thanks Communion was filled with miraculous power that has transcended more than 2000 years. The miraculous power is transferred to us as we take communion even if it is a wafer and non alcoholic wine.
Holy Communion will continue to transfer miraculous power for billions of Christians till JESUS comes again.
This is why HOLY COMMUNION should not be taken lightly.
God willing we will continue tomorrow in JESUS Name.
💭Thought of the day
Take HOLY COMMUNION seriously it has spiritual and physical effect on us even after more than 2000 years through JESUS CHRIST.
Prayer🙏 FATHER, help me recognise and understand the important role of today in the HOLY WEEK and for my Faith. In JESUS Name have I prayed. Amen.
