It's Thursday

For the prior 3 years, on any given day of the week, they saw Jesus: Turn water to wine Cleanse the lepers Cast out demons Give ight to the blind Cause the lame to walk Open the ears of the deaf Feed the multitudes Walk on water Command the stormy wind to cease ON FRIDAY, Jesus will be crucified along with two criminals. Also, later on Friday, he will take one of the criminals with him to Paradise. But presently, IT'S THURSDAY. ON SATURDAY, all will be still and at rest on the Sabbath Day. Most of Jesus's followers will have scattered and hidden themselves. But presently, IT'S THURSDAY. ON SUNDAY morning, Jesus will defy death and come alive. An angel will roll away the stone, not to let him out, but to allow others to go in to see that he is no longer there. Mary Magdalene will be the first to see him. But presently, IT'S THURSDAY. SOME 40 DAYS LATER, after showing himself alive and giving commands to his disciples, Jesus will defy gravity and take flight to heaven. But presently, IT'S THURSDAY. 88888888888888888888888888888888888888888 What happened on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday make Christians weep, sing, and shout hallelujah. It makes us want to dance and leap for joy. But do we remember what happened on THURSDAY? Yes, Jesus and his disciples shared a historic meal, broke bread and drank wine together. But there was another VITAL LESSON that Jesus taught us on THURSDAY. HUMILITY LESSONS do not arouse 'a hallelujah'. Among our greatest sins are selfishness and pride. Our obligation? Love mercy, do Justice, and walk Humbly. ON THURSDAY, in Jesus' hands were the bread and the wine that he shared with them, but may we never forget that he also washed the disciples' feet and wiped their feet with a towel. 040625PS
