Mark 14

The Last Supper

12 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”

13 So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. 14 Say to the owner of the house he enters, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15 He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

16 The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

17 When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve. 18 While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.”

19 They were saddened, and one by one they said to him, “Surely you don’t mean me?”

20 “It is one of the Twelve,” he replied, “one who dips bread into the bowl with me. 21 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

22 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.”

23 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

24 “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to them. 25 “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.”

26 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

 

 

 

In order to understand the love of God in this situation you must understand the climate in which the upper room took place! 

 

 

He washes Judas feet. An absolute act of humility… washing the feet of the one who will turn on you, lie about you and send you to your death… and you still serve him. 

 

Remember!

After telling them someone at the table is going to betray him, he then says do this in remembrance of me.

 

 

I am sure the disciples later after Christ resurrection thought through Christ love for Judas… and had memories of Jesus letting take care of the money, washing his feet, healing the sick etc…

Remembering how much Jesus loved even the one who would betray him. 

The smell of perfume and remembering when Judas wanted the money…

The smell of bread and thinking of Jesus using Judas to feed the 5000

The sight of fish and how God used Judas to multiply the meal

 

 

The disciples at one time were arguing who was the greatest in the kingdom… now they are arguing about wether or not it is them that will betray the Lord. 

 

Judas at the left side of Jesus and Jesus breaks bread and hands it to him. this was a special act of honor in a home. Jesus was not honoring the act of betrayal, but rather letting Judas know he loved him, even as he was about to betray him into the most horrific death.

 

 

You cannot destroy the love that God has for you…

You can sin

You can turn your back

You can deny him

You can fight against him

You can curse him

and yes… you can betray him AND HE WILL STILL LOVE YOU
