Luke 22:15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

Have you stopped to think what this meal meant to Jesus? Yes, there was all the pomp and ceremony when He entered Jerusalem and all the commotion which was about to follow… but this was His time with His disciples.

There is nothing like a meal around a table to bring people together and to mark special occasions. Jesus wanted this time to be with those who had supported Him during His short ministry.

Take time to make sure you allow God’s Word to settle in your heart. Spend some time with Christ – just you and Him. Make your relationship with Him personal; it is what he wants!

Luke 19:40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

We need to make sure the world knows how we feel about Christ! We need to make sure people hear what we need to say about Him!

When Jesus entered Jerusalem for the final time, it was a start of something very special. People needed to make a noise and shout about it because this was their last chance!

God wants us to lift up our voices and make noise. He wants to hear His people shout about His name… If we don’t, He will make the earth do it instead!

Nothing can stop God – but we can certainly make a noise to support Him and allow others to see His glory too.

Luke 22:3 Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve.

The evil one is trying to get into our hearts just as he did at this time with Judas Iscariot. He does not have to physically climb into you or to possess you as a spirit… He just has to corrupt your heart a little…

When the corruption starts to set in, the downward spiral starts and goes very quickly. Just like getting onto a big slide, you start and you cannot stop until you hit the bottom!

Jesus wants us to be aware of these slides and wants us to know exactly where they will lead. He has warned us through His Word many times and continues to do so.

Don’t be a Judas and get caught out!
