Not now, person.
I’m still playing in that water that Jesus used to wash feet with in last week’s story.
What?
There’s food in this story?
It’s about a supper?
Bring it on! I’m all ears!
***
Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
***
Lamb? They’re gonna have lamb!?
I’m eating with them.
Yes, I’m listening.
***
Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”
***
Hey Peter – John, make sure to save a place for me!
***
“Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked.
Jesus replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ He will show you a large upper room, all furnished. Make preparations there.”
They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
***
I’d better go help. They might need someone to clean up the floor when things get dropped.
I’ll listen! I’ll listen!
***
When the hour came, Jesus and His apostles reclined at the table. And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”
***
If Jesus is going to leave His food and not eat it, I’ll eat it for Him.
Yes, I’m listening.
***
After taking the cup, Jesus gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. For I tell you I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.
***
What do you mean, I can’t have any of that fruit of the vine stuff that Jesus doesn’t drink?
Dogs can’t have grapes?
Jesus didn’t say anything about grapes.
***
And Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
***
Bread’s alright, but could you pass over that lamb?
***
In the same way, after the supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.”
***
Okay, now Jesus is pouring that stuff out.
Can I drink it if it falls on the floor?
