All of Jerusalem was focused now on the celebration of the Passover feast, commemorating God’s faithful deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt. Jesus had directed Peter and John to secure a room in the Upper City, not only to celebrate the Passover, but to declare that it was fulfilled in Him. Three years earlier, John the Baptist had alluded to this when he, by the Spirit, declared Jesus to be the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.
On this somber and reflective evening before the crucifixion, Jesus once again served others, taking up the lowest position of a servant and washing the feet of His disciples. Halfway through the meal, Jesus broke the bread and declared, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” (Luke 22:19) And then He took the cup of redemption and proclaimed to His disciples, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.” (Luke 22:20). John reflecting on this evening declared of Jesus, “Having loved His disciples, He loved them to the end.”
In these final moments, it was the love of Jesus that poured through each and every act. Jesus wasn’t an unwilling participant in the events that would follow. It was the ultimate demonstration of His love for people, His love for you. Choose to see His love through each and every thing He has done for you. Spend a moment today, reflecting on the many ways He has loved you, the greatest of all being the sacrifice He made on Friday. Receive His love, and rejoice in it. Be specific as you thank Him for all that He has done for you.
Thursday's events are recorded in Matthew 26:17–75, Mark 14:12-72, Luke 22:7-62, and John 13-18:1-23
