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:
- betrayal by Judas
- denial by Peter
- illegal arrest
- apostles running scared
- Caiaphas Kangaroo Court
- spit in the face
- beating
- beard plucked out
- mockery
- suffered under Pilate
- crowd chose Barabbas
- stripped of clothing
- more mockery
- scourged
- crown of thorns
- beaten again
- stripped of clothing again
- crucifixion
- mockery again
- clothing wagered
And before all of this, He gave thanks…
