Maundy Thursday Scripture
“While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, ‘Take it; this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it. ‘This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,’ he said to them. ‘Truly I tell you, I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.’ When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives” (Mark 14:22-26).
Truth to Consider: The Lord fully submitted to God
Maundy Thursday Prayer
Abba Father,
All the way through His Earthly ministry, Jesus displayed a humble obedience to Your Will, even when it meant giving His life. I pray that You would give me the strength to follow His example. Let me seek Your Will each day, and be ready to respond well.
NO ONE could accuse Jesus of disobedience or breaking a single law of God‼️‼️
Nevertheless, we have idiots who think Jesus either disobeyed the law or tried to minimize it.
Jesus came to fulfill the law—and so he did just that‼️‼️‼️
Some people think Jesus went contrary to the law when he spoke against the reckless use and abuse of the law by “them of old”. They think “them of old” referred to those who followed the law under Moses
