Good Morning....I hope it is a beautiful sun shiny day where you are like it is here. A beautiful day! Seems like this whole week I've been trying to picture just what was going on in our Savior's life during this time. Last night I was thinking about TODAY!.....Passover in the Holy Land....and Passover when Jesus was there. A holy day for the Jewish people, remembering their deliverance from Egypt, the sacrificial lamb, and the blood applied to the doorposts which kept the death of the first born from touching them. I pondered Jesus telling the deciples about the man they would see and tell that the Master had need of the upper room to celebrate the passover. He instructed them to prepare the room and the meal. I sort of imagined that( seeing as how Lazarus was raised from the dead just recently, and Jesus later had a meal with them( remember the Mary and Martha spirit) they may have traveled to Jerusalem to celebrate the passover with the Lord as well might others have !! Mary Magdalene???? Jairus?????( his daughter raised from the dead) the Roman centurian whose servant was healed???? the woman with the issue of blood healed by just touching the hem of His garment???? ( I said I imagined!) It could well have been that there were more than just the deciples with Jesus celebrating Passover. Little did they know , that as they killed the Passover lamb for the meal, that their high priest would shortly fulfill that prophecy of a lamb being slain for the whole world.
Applying the blood to the doorpost (another thought)....the Bible tells us we overcome the enemy by the blood of the Lamb and by the Word of our testimony. What a wonderful day to consider the monumental , incomprehensible gift of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Every day of our life as we meet life's challenges, the enemy's tactics and mostly our own undisciplined flesh, we have His blood and our faith in His being the promised Messiah to overcome all obstacles. Remember He said....in this world you will have tribulation, but I have overcome the world. So,though we may not sit at a Passover meal per say.....we can still rejoice and praise Our Father God for the Precious Lamb of God. Happy Passover....Jesus is ALIVE!!!
