Today we celebrate Good Friday, the day that Jesus suffered and died on the cross. Hours before He was celebrating the Passover Supper with His disciples, enjoying one last moment of fellowship.
I starting thinking about that Last Supper. Jesus knew Judas Iscariot would betray Him. He knew that the betrayal would lead to intense suffering, humilation, pain, and death the next day. Yet when Jesus took the bread and the cup, telling the disciples that this was His body and blood broken and shed for them, He was offering life to everyone including the very man who had sold Him for thirty pieces of silver.
What mercy and grace! Jesus could have waited until after Judas had gone to the Chief Priests before He broke the bread and offered the cup. Instead, Judas had one last chance; but he refused to accept it.
Have you refused to accept the gift of life that God is offering to you through the sacrifice of His Son? Jesus died on this very day over 2,000 years ago so that you could receive eternal life. Ask Him into your heart and your life today before your lose your chance.
