What a week. Jesus now, knows that the time is at hand. Anointed by Mary at Bethany, cleaned house in the Temple; confronted sadducees and pharisees; parabled the peoples on the kingdom of God, the end times and more; finally Jesus has a room prepared without a servant. Not looking to His disciples, He takes the role of slave. Washes feet in a basin. Dries them. Then instructs them to do likewise for each other and others. Jesus calls in the New Covenant. Celebrating Old Covenant with Passover, now Communion is birthed. Through the new covenant, Jesus, the new passover lamb makes a way for our sins to be forgiven and He now leads us out of sin slavery for eternity. Satan enters Judas and as night falls on Thursday, it will be Jesus and the "3", James, John and Peter all being warned to pray with him. Why? The temptation will be brutal to overcome. All three yield to tiredness and then the betrayal kiss from Judas. This night is special for the Passion Season. It is a very very intimate moment. Take time and reflect: Who are you serving now? Where are you taking a bowl and a towel? Also, how is your prayer? Much conflict comes and Jesus reminds us to WATCH and pray so that we can overcome temptation.
Thank you Jesus for knowing the way and going the way.
