The Passover was drawing near and the disciples asked Jesus where He wanted to celebrate it. Apparently He already made arrangements with a man, because Jesus told them to go up to this guy and tell him that they are ready, and then they were to go and prepare. Turns out that guy already prepared a room for them, it was already furnished and everything! Once the time came, Jesus went with His disciples to celebrate. Oh how I wanted to go with them…but I helped prepare a feast for the other followers of Christ. It seemed like an eternity that they were gone, once they came out, I spoke with the men and they told me what happened. Jesus spoke to them and said He was looking forward to that meal before He was to suffer. I had forgotten that He was going to have to suffer for us all, for me. My heart was saddened at this reminder and because of what they said next. He made a sort of toast; it was a communion type thing, I guess I could call it. He said the bread was His body as He broke it. They were to pray and break bread in remembrance of Him. He then took a cup, and said it was His new covenant in His blood. Then He revealed that one of the twelve disciples will betray Him. I could not imagine any of them doing such a thing. Who would betray the Lord? Not only is it a HUGE sin, but it is dumb as well. God obviously knows that you are going to do it...Now that I think about it; I think someone has been stealing from our change purse. Perhaps that is the same person who will betray our Lord Jesus Christ. I did not think that Jesus would reveal who is the one who would betray Him, but He did. He said that Judas Iscariot was the one that would betray Him. It makes sense with what I said earlier…he is the one in charge of money. Well not anymore I suppose. I am kind of glad that I was not there for that Passover feast. To dine with Jesus and fellowship with Him up close and personally would have been amazing, but, to hear Him speak of His suffering would have broken my heart. Also, if I had been there when He identified Judas as the person who betrays Him, I probably would have put my foot in my mouth. Then Jesus would have been disappointed with me. That would have been too much…
