MAUNDY THURSDAY: THE LAST SUPPER AND THEN THE LONELINESS IN THE GARDEN

ON THIS SPECIAL EDITION OF SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN WE'LL BRIEFLY GO OVER THE DAYS LEADING UP TO MAUNDY THURSDAY.  MAUNDY THURSDAY IS VERY IMPORTANT ON THE CHRISTIAN CALENDAR, IT REPRESENTS THE NIGHT THAT JESUS TAUGHT HIS DISCIPLES ABOUT HOW TO REMEMBER HIM WITH HOLY COMMUNION WHICH WAS EXPERIENCED DURING THE LAST SUPPER. AFTERWARDS, THE DISCIPLES ACCOMPANIED HIM TO THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE, WHERE HE ASKED TO BE ALLOWED TO PRAY BY HIMSELF TO GOD.  AT THIS TIME HE WAS TOTALLY ALONE, EVEN FROM GOD, AS HE TOOK ON THE BURDEN OF THE SINS OF THE WORLD AWAITING HIS ARREST BY THE SOLDIERS BROUGHT TO HIM BY THE TRAITOR jUDAS ISCARIOT.  THIS WAS THE MOMENT HE DREADED BUT KNEW HE HAD TO FACE, FOR WITH HIS UPCOMING DEATH AFTER A TRUMPED UP TRIAL, HIS PURPOSE ON EARTH WAS FULFILLED. ALL OF MANKIND, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE WAS FORGIVEN BY HIM UPON HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS ON GOOD FRIDAY. AND THE QUESTION IS LEFT TO EACH OF US TO ANSWER: DO WE ACCEPT HIS FORGIVENESS BY BELIEVING IN HIM THROUGH FAITH?  THAT'S OUR MESSAGE THIS DAY.

WE HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US FOR THE MESSAGE, SOME GREAT CHRISTIAN MUSIC, SCRIPTURE AND A SHORT PRAYER. SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN IS A PRODUCTION OF NORTH FLORIDA WRITER LIVE BROUGHT TO YOU COURTESY OF BLOG TALK RADIO. HOPE YOU'LL LISTEN.
