“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.’
Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
‘This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,’ he said to them. ‘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.’” - Mark 14:22-25 NIV
Today is Maundy (or Holy) Thursday. On Thursday of Holy Week, Jesus took the Last Supper with his disciples, he prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, he was betrayed by Judas, and he stood before Pilate. As we look forward to observing Good Friday and Jesus’ resurrection on Easter Sunday, let’s take today to prepare our hearts.
