Day 66- The Lord's Supper (Luke 22:1-46)






In the hours preceding Jesus' death we see the jealousy of the religious leaders that leads to the murder of Jesus, the greed of Judas that leads to the betrayal of Jesus, the desire for greatness that leads to Peter's denial of Jesus and the other disciples to argue. All these desires and outcomes are the fruit of the kingdom of darkness and the basic principles of this world.  The kingdom of God however, is completely different, it finds it's roots in a completely different way of thinking that results in a completely different way of living.

Questions to Ponder:

1. In the kingdom of this world, how do political leaders such as 
    kings, presidents and sometimes even religious leaders lead?

2. As the king over the Kingdom of God, how does Jesus lead 
    among those He is calling to God's kingdom?

3. Satan, the tempter, not only entered Judas to lead him to betray 
    Jesus and His kingdom, but he also tempted and succeeded in 
    duping Peter to deny Jesus, BUT Peter's faith didn't fail.  How
    is that demonstrated in Peter's life in this passage?

Pray: Thank the Lord Jesus for calling you to Himself and for
           serving you through His body and His blood.  Ask the Lord 
           to help you not to fall into temptation, but to deliver you  
           from evil today, so that  you may freely serve Him and His
           Kingdom.
