"So the last will be first, and the first will be last." Matthew 20:6
WHAT????
But I want to be first in line.
I want to get the first piece of cake.
I want to be the first.
I don’t want to be last,
because isn’t the first the best?
Well, depending on how you look at it.
The Last~
Your last meal
before the diet.
Can’t you just taste it~
Eating all the “forbidden” foods as if you will never get to eat them again.
Your
The Last Supper
His Last Supper
Did the disciples really understand that this really was
Jesus’ Last Supper~
Last Supper
before He was to be crucified?
And
what did Jesus do~
He spent His
Last Supper
ministering to His disciples
one more time
before He left earth
so they could
“…grasp how wide and long and high and deep…” Ephesians 3:17
His love was
for them
for us
as He shared this
Last meal
with the one
who would send Him right to the cross,
as Jesus looked directly into His betrayer’s face
and shared
His Last Supper
But…
whose last supper was it really?
It was Judas’s last
because
he couldn’t live with himself after he saw what his betrayal would do
to the
One
whom he followed~
but
for 30 pieces of silver
he sold his birthright
just as
Esau sold his birthright at
his last supper at being first.
Now picture yourself sitting around Jesus' table
at your
His Last Supper
where He lifts up the bread and
"gave thanks to God for it. Then He broke it in pieces and said,
'This is my body, which is given for you'"...
and then as He lifts up the glass of wine and said,
“This cup is the new covenant between God and His people
—an agreement confirmed with my blood…”
~representing His blood that would be shed
at
your
Last Supper
Do you get it?
Do you really get it~
That the King of your heart,
Who loves you so much,
would spend
His Last Supper
with you,
knowing that you & I
would
deny Him,
but
He did it anyway.
The
His Last Supper
was for us….
"Do this in remembrance of me.” 1 Corinthians 11:23-25
His Last Supper
is
Our Last Supper
when we remember
Our Savior
when we eat of Him
&
drink of Him
because
you
“ have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end.
Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God". I Peter 1:23
Now
are you ready to
Fast
from being
Last
from experiencing
His Peace
His Joy
His Hope
at
Last?
So
today
as you remember
His Last Supper
Put
Him
First
because
He has called you
to be
First
at
His Last Supper
because
He personally carried our sins in His body
on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By His wounds you are healed.
Once you were like sheep who wandered away. But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls.
I Peter 2:24-25
