This is the day in Holy Week that we remember what happened in the Upper Room.
As the Teacher and his disciples were enjoying the traditional Passover meal, Jesus took the bread. He broke it and passed it to his men saying, "This is my body."
Later, he took the cup of wine and as he passed it, he said, "This is my blood."
I imagine these phrases were odd to hear that evening. Words that meant more after the crucifixion. Words that mean so much to His followers this side of the cross.
The ultimate gift of His body and His blood offered for us for always. Free for the accepting.
'til later
