Can you hear the laughter? Can you see the excitement on their faces? The guys just watched him run those money hungry worship distorters from the courts of the temple. They can sense that it is happening (of course, they don’t really know what “it” is). Finally, after three years, Jesus is going to usher in his rule – his kingdom. All their sacrifice, all their time spent learning from this great man is about to pay off.
Now he tells them to get ready for the big celebration meal. He gives instructions for what they need and sends a few of them off to get started. In a few hours they will gather in the vacant room and celebrate together.
Listen to the excitement in their voices. It’s happening – it’s finally happening.
But what comes next sets them back.
Walk with them today and try and feel what they felt.
It will be a very long day!
