March 16

Matthew 26:26-35

Communion and the Lord's supper is a very powerful experience that I think sometimes becomes too routine: bread, juice, kneel, go. It is so much more than that! IT is symbolic of what Jesus did for us- giving His body and shedding His blood so that we may be forgiven, that we would not know God's wrath.

Verses 30-35 tell of another disciple, Peter, denying Jesus. I have to wonder, too, how Peter felt when he was told he would deny his Lord not once, but three times before the rooster crows. (I would make sure to avoid all roosters!) It's somewhat unnerving to think about if we would be like Peter, if put to the test, would we deny our Lord?
