Happy Thanksgiving, 2023

Matthew 26:26-28 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins…”

The scene is the Last Supper.

Jesus was about to experience:

  1. betrayal by Judas
  2. denial by Peter
  3. illegal arrest
  4. apostles running scared
  5. Caiaphas Kangaroo Court
  6. spit in the face
  7. beating
  8. beard plucked out
  9. mockery
  10. suffered under Pilate
  11. crowd chose Barabbas
  12. stripped of clothing
  13. more mockery
  14. scourged
  15. crown of thorns
  16. beaten again
  17. stripped of clothing again
  18. crucifixion
  19. mockery again
  20. clothing wagered

And before all of this, He gave thanks…
