—Matthew 26:17-30
by: Dorothy Noel.
Inmates on death row are often given one final request before their execution, a last meal of whatever they please. Oftentimes the individual will choose something of sentimental value to bring back good memories. We read here what Jesus’ last meal was. Instead of choosing something of personal, sentimental value, He used His last meal to shore up His disciples’ faith, giving them a template for how to remember and worship Him. In the human act of eating, Jesus placed His disciples’ future needs above His own coming discomfort. How great is His love for us!
