We have all heard the story of the last supper so many times. It is like a childhood blanket or warm memory that can envelope you and make you feel safe and warm. This year, I looked at it not as a spectator, but a participant. Cristo Rey celebrated Maundy Thursday with our own service and celebration of the Lord's Supper.
We started the service in song.
Then an explanation of what the Lord did that night and how they observed the passover supper together. And we too, shared in a super together as the body of Christ.
After dinner we sang again, Canta, Canta, Alma Mia. A beautiful hymn from the Psalms, Oh sing, oh sing, my soul to the Lord!
And we read the passages of the passover feast from both the Old Testament and the New Testament.
And then we heard a message from Pastor Wes reminding us of what Jesus did that night. What He did not only for His disciples, but for all of us! And with that in mind, we too shared in the Lord's supper to end our time together.
What an amazing time of worship, fellowship and reflection. Thank you Lord for your willingness to die on the cross for us! We praise you that we have hope because indeed, it did not end on the cross, but you rose again!
