'I Drink It New' โ Mark 14:24-26
Key Thought
Some debate what Jesus means when he says, "I drink it new in the Kingdom of God." Some believe he is referring to sharing in the Lord's Supper with those who believe in him โ in other words, when we share in the Lord's Supper as his church, he joins us in this meal. Others think he is referring to the great reunion meal in heaven. I personally believe that his reference is all encompassing because the Lord's Supper we celebrate as his church is both a memorial and an anticipation: We remember his death until he comes. He joins us in that meal just as he joined his followers on the road to Emmaus and shared that meal with them. [1] However, we realize that as we celebrate the Lord's Supper here on earth, we do so in anticipation of the great meal in heaven with all of God's redeemed. What a great reminder! What a great way to anticipate the future! What a great way to pledge ourselves to each other and commit to help one another see that glorious day of victorious celebration with our Lord!
Today's Prayer
Almighty God and eternal Lord, thank you for the presence of your Son as we share in the Lord's Supper. Thank you even more for the promise that we will share the victorious meal with our Savior when he returns and takes us home to you. In Jesus' name, I thank you for all of your blessings. Amen.

Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives.

"For my strength is made perfect in weakness."โ 2 Corinthians 12:9
A primary qualification for serving God with any amount of success, and for doing God's work well and triumphantly, is a sense of our own weakness. When God's warrior marches forth to battle, strong in his own might, when he boasts, "I know that I shall conquer, my own right arm and my conquering sword shall get unto me the victory," defeat is not far distant. God will not go forth with that man who marches in his own strength. He who reckoneth on victory thus has reckoned wrongly, for "it is not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts." They who go forth to fight, boasting of their prowess, shall return with their gay banners trailed in the dust, and their armour stained with disgrace. Those who serve God must serve him in his own way, and in his strength, or he will never accept their service. That which man doth, unaided by divine strength, God can never own. The mere fruits of the earth he casteth away; he will only reap that corn, the seed of which was sown from heaven, watered by grace, and ripened by the sun of divine love. God will empty out all that thou hast before he will put his own into thee; he will first clean out thy granaries before he will fill them with the finest of the wheat. The river of God is full of water; but not one drop of it flows from earthly springs. God will have no strength used in his battles but the strength which he himself imparts. Are you mourning over your own weakness? Take courage, for there must be a consciousness of weakness before the Lord will give thee victory. Your emptiness is but the preparation for your being filled, and your casting down is but the making ready for your lifting up.
"When I am weak then am I strong,
Grace is my shield and Christ my song."

'All of You!' โ Mark 14:27
Key Thought
Jesus knows that he will face the horrors of the cross alone. He has no illusions about what will happen. Scripture has foretold it. His heart knows it. He lies on the verge of experiencing it. In Ray Overholt's hymn, "Ten Thousand Angels," the truth of Jesus' words are powerfully recognized:
"He could have called ten thousand angels
To destroy the world and set Him free.
He could have called, ten thousand angels,
But He died alone, for you and me."
Jesus knows his death is coming. He knows he will be betrayed, abandoned, denied, and crucified. He goes through it all anyway... for us.
Today's Prayer
Loving Father and Almighty God, I am humbled by the incredible and sacrificial love your Son demonstrated for me, and I appreciate all that he did for me. Please accept my life as my "thank you" for such incredible grace. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
