The Uninterrupted Meal

# 690 Today's Du-votional comes from: Mr 14:12 Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?" 13 And He sent out two of His disciples and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him. 14 "Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"' 15 "Then he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared; there make ready for us." 16 So His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found it just as He had said to them; and they prepared the Passover.

It was time to make the preparations for the Passover meal. Note the instructions given to the two disciples. (Peter and John according to Luke's account) Even they would not know where the meal would be eaten. They were to look for the unusual sign of a man carrying water, (usually women's work) and follow him to their destination. Why the secrecy?

Because Judas was not to know where this place would be. The Last Supper would not suffer interruption by those wishing to arrest Jesus. He will institute it this night and it will continue in His Church, uninterrupted, until he comes again.

This is the way perfect fellowship with Jesus should be, and one day it will be fully realized in heaven at the marriage feast of the Lamb. Imagine if you will, perfect fellowship with Jesus and others, with no more interruptions from the enemies of Christ!

When you think about it, isn't that what the devil and his demons are all about. Using any and all means possible to either prevent or interrupt our fellowship with Jesus. Don't allow him to keep you away from the Lord's Table. Celebrate this sacred meal often, for Jesus Himself said, This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." (1 Cor 11:25)

Father, strengthen our resolve for fellowship with You through Your Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen
