The implications are huge with both answers. Tonight, we look at what the creator of this special meal said and did on the first Holy Thursday evening to answer the question.
- Apr 10, 2022The King We NeedThe King We NeedSome people mock Jesus, and refuse to believe in him as the true Son of God, because in his life he displayed so much weakness and humility. That doesn't seem like what a king/Messiah/God ought to be to them! The humble, self-sacrificing attitude we see from Jesus at Palm Sunday is emblematic of all the days of Holy Week, and ultimately, the entire life of Jesus. However, as Paul explains in Philippians, that humble, self-sacrificing attitude of Jesus makes him exactly the kind of King, Messiah/God that we need!

What was the "one thing" he wanted that caused him to overlook what he knew about his sinful actions and the impact it would have? And how does he remember the wrong thing once he's filled with remorse? We apply his life and mistakes to our own, and are reminded what we need to remember when God's law fills us with remorse over our sins!

- Mar 20, 2022History LessonsHistory LessonsWhat is God's purpose in telling us history lessons from our spiritual forefathers? He wants us to learn from them, and use them as a warning against having a sense of false security, which leaves us on unstable ground! In love, God encourages us to not make the same mistakes they made, and instead find our true security in his faithful presence!
