There are no recorded events in the life of Christ, on this Wednesday before Passover. While this doesn’t mean that there weren’t things that Jesus and His disciples did, the Scripture is silent for a reason. Most commentators and Bible scholars call this, Jesus’ sabbath before His sacrifice. In other words, it was His day of rest and preparation for the coming Passover and sacrifice He would make. Ultimately, for the sins of the whole world.
Jesus declared that He always did those things that pleased the Father. He spent time daily with the Father, often early in the morning before any of the disciples were awake. We can only imagine that this was some of the deepest time of intimacy between Him and the Father during His earthly ministry.
Take this day to pursue a time of solitude with your Heavenly Father. Be intentional about turning off the daily distractions, setting your mind on Jesus and all that He did for you on the cross. May God enlarge our hearts so that they can be filled with more of His love.
John 15:13,
“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”
Mark 1:35,
“Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.”
