Holy Thursday (Maundy Thursday)

4 Days had passed since Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey and it was time for the passover meal. Jesus sent Peter and John (2 of his disciples) ahead to prepare the meal so they could eat it together. When the time came Jesus and the apostles sat down together at the table.

After the supper together He took some bread and broke it, and gave it to the disciples saying “this is my body which is given for you, do this to remember me. 

Jesus took a cup of wine and said “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people - an agreement confirmed with my blood which is poured out as a sacrifice for you.
