The Last Supper Last Supper Luke 22:19-20  Then he took some bread and thanked God for it. He broke off some pieces, gave them to the apostles and said, “This bread is my body that I am giving for you. Eat this to remember me.” In the same way, after supper, Jesus took the cup of wine and said, “This wine represents the new agreement from God to his people. It will begin when my blood is poured out for you.”  The Last Supper: An Introduction  The Last Supper is one of several major events in the earthly life of Jesus Christ that are recorded in the Bible.  Last Supper is a description of the last meal Jesus Christ had with His disciples prior to His arrest and crucifixion on a Roman cross about 2,000 years ago.  The Last Supper contains many significant principles and continues to be an important part of Christian lives throughout the world.  The Last Supper: The Significance   The Last Supper is describ...

Mary of Bethany Anoints Jesus John 12:1-8 in Its Context  Within the narrative world of John's Gospel, this passage acquires a good deal of meaning through its connections to other scenes and themes. Mary's gift, along with Judas's stinginess, has greater significance because of how it participates in a series of developments.  Passover is near, and so too is Jesus' "hour" (see 13:1). He spends time with Mary, Martha, and Lazarus soon after the pivotal scene of Lazarus's revivification (11:1-44).  That is the "sign" that brings many to believe in him (11:45; 12:9-11), many to flock to him (12:17-19), and others to plot his death (11:47-53).  When Jesus mentions his burial in 12:7, this confirms that his end is coming.  Yet Lazarus's presence at the table confirms that death does not speak the final word.  Jesus forges the connection between the anointing and his burial in 12:7, a verse that has proved challenging...

The Secrets of God's Glory Acts 12: 22. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.  Acts 12: 23. And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him because he gave not God the glory, and he was eaten of worms and gave up the ghost.  When you celebrate your achievements, you tell the whole world that you are happy with yourself and with the outcome of your efforts. Most importantly you tell them about how good the Lord has been to you.  However, we often hear the sad news about famous people after they enter into stardom. We can make a tall list of great men in sports, academia, politics, media etc. who faced serious problems after achieving the great feat.  The wrong handling of their success led them into alcoholism, drug abuse and various vices. Some are still battling with cocaine addiction and others have seen their untimely deaths.  Anybody who tastes success in any field can be trapped into thes...

Hope Makes Us Not Ashamed “Hope makes us not ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us”. (Rom. 5:5). The first name given in the Bible to the Holy Spirit is in Romans 1:4, “and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection from the dead.”  He is given that name that we may understand the meaning of God’s holiness and we also can become holy, as God is holy. That is God’s standard for you and me. In Hebrews 9:14: we read: “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge you r conscience from dead works to serve the living God.”  That is the second name we see in the Bible: the Eternal Spirit. He has given the Spirit to us to teach us about eternal things. In john 14:16 we read; “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with yo...
