Do This In Remembrance

Passover was drawing near, and the religious leaders were putting it in overdrive wanting to have Jesus killed so they could be done with Him. This is when satan enters Judas. Satan took him over, but he was a willing participant. His greed opened him up to the enemy. Judas went and spoke with the religious leaders, plotting to betray Jesus to them. They were happy. This is just what they wanted. So, they promised Judas some money. Judas just had to catch Jesus away from the crowd and he knew The Passover would be the perfect time. Because people would be busy with their families.

Jesus told Peter and John to find a place where they could have their Passover meal. He gave them specific instructions of where to go. They did exactly as He had instructed and secured the upper room for their Passover. And when the hour was come, He and the twelve apostles sat down for the Passover meal.

Jesus told them how important it was for Him to enjoy this Passover meal with them before it was time for Him to die. And He told them there would never be another Passover meal for them to share. He took the cup, and gave thanks to God and said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves.”” For I say I unto you, I will not drink wine again until the Kingdom of God comes.” And He took the bread, gave thanks, and broke it, and gave it unto them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of Me.” And thus began the Lord’s Communion ordination.

Like wise also the cup after supper, saying, this cup is the new testament of my blood, which is shed for you. This is not a literal transubstantiation. This is symbolic. When we take communion, it’s important for us to remember what all Jesus did for us on that Cross in order to save us from our sin and reconcile us to The Father.

Then Jesus said, “But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined; but woe unto that man by whom He is betrayed” Jesus had a mission to do, and it was going to be done no matter what. But woe unto the betrayer- Judas. And the apostles began to ask each other of which one of them would do such a thing.

Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!

   Scripture For The Day  December 19, 2023 Luke 19 part 1 "Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!"  And Jesus passed through Jericho. Jericho had a lot of history, even at that time. It was a major trading center and there was a wealthy tax collector named Zaccheus who lived and worked there. He heard about Jesus and decided to see for himself. But he was a short man and there were a lot of people traveling with Jesus and a huge crowd lining the street waiting to see Jesus pass by. Less than 15 miles away, Jesus had just raised Lazarus from the dead. He was a rockstar. So, Zaccheus ran up ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Jesus. As soon as Jesus got to the tree, He looked up and said “Zaccheus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.” I bet y’all are singing the song right now…I was. 😊 The crowd began to murmur. How could Jesus eat with a sinner like this dishonest tax collector? Zaccheus was so overwhelmed with the love of Jesus that he

He Restores My Soul

Scripture For The Day    November 14, 2023 "He Restores My Soul"  Psalm 23- Most of us know this beloved Psalm. The LORD is our Shepherd and we who believe are His Sheep. However in recent years, the label of ‘sheep’ has become a derogatory term. I don’t care. I am so very thankful that I am part of His flock. So, Baa Baa baby. Call me a sheep. I know that I matter to Him just as much as the other sheep in His flock. No more, no less. In His Word, His people are never described as lions. But as meek and dependent sheep that depend upon a Shepherd. I’ll take that any day. Because it’s The Truth. I learned this passage when I was a little girl. But no one took the time to teach me what it meant. So, I was always confused by the first verse” “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Why? I would ask The LORD? Why can’t I ‘want’ You? I Love You and I do ‘want’ You to be with me. It wasn’t until I was much older and studying on my own that I discovered the word ‘want” meant

Aijeleth Shahar

  Scripture For The Day  November 13 th , 2023 "Aijeleth Shahar"  Psalm 22 has David assigning this song to the director of the corporate worship stating it is to be sung or chanted by “Aijeleth Shahar” translated means by the hind of the dawn or “The Deer of The Dawn”. Made me think of how sometimes there are little songs for kids to learn and they often use the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” for them to learn them better. Psalm 22 is a cry of anguish and as per usual a song of Praise. And by the very first verse, we can read words that Jesus Christ, Himself, spoke on The Cross. Jesus often quoted scriptures.  “My God, My God, why hast Thou Forsaken Me? (why art thou so) far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?” You have no idea how deeply this verse spoke to me today. I woke up early this morning thinking of the word Forsake. So, as I type I am asking The LORD, “What are you bringing to my heart today?” to forsake means to abandon or turn against. Mak
