Wed. Sept. 28, 2011 The Last Supper 3

"As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, and say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?' He will show you a large upper room, all furnished. Make preparations there."

Good Salvation Wednesday Morning, my dear brothers and sisters. Thank you, Tim, for your writing of yesterday. Salvation Wednesday and the day we pray for the lost and for us who are found to work to bring the lost to the feet of Jesus to be saved. Praise report... Blanche went home to be with the Lord last evening at 4:55 PM. Please lift Dale in your prayers. (Yes, a Praise report for we have been praying that she would be called home.) Please keep praying for Baby Boy Noah to be cured from cancer... and pray also for Thomas and Diane Mozer who three years ago on this date I married. May they walk always with God. Happy third, you two... love you both. Please pray for Carol Harris who is in rehab at Golden Living. Dolores is moving forward with recovery and this Sunday she will be back at the piano at the Bridges... Thanks to Wanda and LeaAnne for filling in for Dolores while she was in the hospital.

The Last Supper Day 3: Luke 22:8 - Jesus sent Peter and John, saying "Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover." 9 "Where do you want us to prepare for it?" They asked. 10 He replied, "As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, 11 and say to the owner of the house. The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples? 12 He will show you a large upper room, all furnished. Make preparations there." (NIV)

First let me say that this eating of the Passover by Jesus and His disciples was His last meal before He was put to death for us on the Cross. Therefore the term, The Last Supper. Let me remind you at this time that we will be having communion on Friday, so please bring some bread for the body, and grape juice or wine, your choice for the Blood.

One of the things I think is so neat on these scriptures is just how Jesus knows what is going on all the time. He know as Peter and John would enter the city they would find a man carrying a jar of water... Hey, is that a tad scary or what? Think about it, Jesus knows what each of us do all the time. You cannot hide a thing from Him. You think you can sin and He not know.,. He knows when we are eating ice cream and what flavor! I just cannot point that out too strongly to you folks. We need to always live and walk with and for our Lord Jesus, as if He was looking at us, BECAUSE HE IS. Now we are not on wires or strings, we are not controlled by Him, as we were given free will, and you noticed as I did, it did not take long till we messed up. Given a nice garden, we had all we needed but don't touch that one tree. But like today, Adam and Even coveted what was on that tree and then when caught, tried to blame it on a snake.

I would also liked to have been in the upper room with Jesus and His disciples, it would have been nice to see just how they sat around a table. All the pictures and paintings are set for a "photo op." I would think that Jesus would have sat at the head of the table with six disciples down each side. (Gosh, they could have done the photo shot from the other end of the table.)

I remember years ago going to Heritage USA and going to the upper room for prayer. It was really neat and the house was to be built as the house was back in the days when Jesus walked the face of the earth... I can remember sitting up there praying with Dolores over a mountain of prayer requests sent in to Jimmy Bakker to be prayed over.

So folks, as you go forth today, doing whatever you are doing, remember this. Jesus is watching over you and also with me. If you are carrying that jug, He even knows what is in it. When your TV set is on, He knows to what channel, when you "Surf the Net" He knows where you surf, and if you are in a chat room, He knows who you are chatting with and what you are chatting about.

Dear Father in Heaven, I know I am a sinner, and I pray that I will always remember to walk with You and follow in Your light and footsteps and not do it because You are watching, but do it because I love You. Forgive me when I slip and fall, and Lord, please forgive me and help me up. For Lord, I do want to walk with You. Take care of Blanche, dear Father, and hear our other requests and act on them please, according to Your will for us... In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Now go forth, my dear brothers and sisters. And share those blessings and let others see the light of Jesus in You. Love ya, Pastor Dan.
