Digging Deeper~ Maundy Thursday of Holy Week

Ex. 12:1-4 (5-10):God's instructions to Moses of how to sacrifice a lamb for their sins. 

Ps. 116:1-2, 12-19:I love the Lord because he has heard my prayers I gives me salvation. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. Lord, let me your servant be a saint. 

1 Cor. 11:23-26: Paul telling the saints to remember Jesus' death by having communion. 


John 13:1-17, 31b-35: The last supper Jesus had with his disciples before he was arrested. Jesus told them to do this to remember what he did for them on the cross. 


God shows his people a picture of what Jesus would do by the sacrifice of a lamb (Ex. 12:1-4 (5-10). At the last supper, Jesus was trying to tell his followers that he was to become the final lamb for all men's sins (John 13:1-17, 31b-35). Then he tells them how to remember what he did for them in the future. We call this communion these days. 


Challenge of the day: 
Today, take the time to remember what Jesus did for you by taking communion. Then pray the prayer that is in Psalms 116:1-2, 12-19.

Accomplishment of the day:
Are you ready for the next few days now?
