The Passover Meal
Today in the timeline of Holy Week, we see the preparation for Passover and Judas betraying Jesus.
We know this was no surprise to The Lord because he mentions it clearly five verses later, “…one of you will betray me.”
Despite this, Jesus eats the Passover meal with His disciples. It’s important to remember that Peter verbally denies connection to Jesus and the rest abandon Him also once he is arrested.
How could He stand to share a meal with the 12 closest people to Him that would all betray or abandon Him?
I would propose 2 reasons. He loved them unconditionally and He was committed to His mission.
We know from Romans 5:8 the kind of love we are dealing with. It’s the kind of love the reaches into the darkest pit and rescues.
We know His mission in 2 Corinthians 5:21. He is reconciling the world to His Father. This mission included death, even death on a cross.
Because of His love and His commitment to the mission, though we were once in darkness we are now seated at His table in the presence of His glorious light!
Praise God that He didn’t let betrayal stand In the way of His love and mission. We ought to do the same.
Have a blessed Holy Wednesday!
