Monte Thursday is celebrated in remembrance of the New covenant established by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. He had supper with His disciples on the night just before his death. He knew he is going to shed His blood next day as a ransom to redeem all those who believe in Him. During this Last Supper, He told His disciples explicitly that His flesh will be torn and his blood will be shed for the sake of mankind.
we read from the Bible the following verses:
" While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. "....Mathew 26:26-28
Jesus came into this world to offer his life as a ransom to redeem many people.
He is our Sacrificial Lamb. There is no forgiveness of sins with out the blood of a sacrifice. This is the plan of salvation established by God.
I praise God for allowing and accepting the sacrifice of Jesus, allowing him to die and then raising him up from the dead after three days.
I praise Jesus for offering himself as a sacrifice for me.
Jesus obeyed God the Father, even up to the death on the cross, God has lifted up Jesus to the highest places and has given him a name which is above all other names so that every tongue shall say, " Jesus , my Lord and my God"
