Bible verses for Meditation:

Luke 22
NIV
13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. 15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”
17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you.

NRSV
13 So they went and found everything as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover meal.
14 When the hour came, he took his place at the table, and the apostles with him. 15 He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; 16 for I tell you, I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” 17 Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves;

Meditation on Scripture:

During the lead up to Easter we look back to the things that happened during the last week of the life of Christ. One thing we often hear mentioned is the last supper, which was initiated right before Jesus’ death. He gathered His apostles and gave them bread and wine in remembrance of His body and His blood. This was directly connected to the Passover meal. The last supper was a passover meal. This is incredibly significant. The passover meal’s purpose was to remember how God saved the children of Israel when they were in bondage in Egypt. The Israelites painted lamb’s blood on the doorposts of their homes and the final plague passed over them. This final plague is when Pharaoh finally agreed to let the Israelites free. The destroying angel lit
Similarly, in the eyes of Christians, the death of Christ was the fulfillment of the practice of passover since it had been fulfilled.. Jesus says He would not eat or drink it again until it was fulfilled in the kingdom of God. When we partake of the Sacrament of last supper we should remember Jesus as the lamb of God creating an eternal passover, where his blood would spare us from the plague that would befall us due to our sinful actions.

May we always remember him, and trust in the blood of the Lamb to save us from destruction. God loves us enough to have created this whole plan for us. The being that created you, is able to save you. Nobody is beyond his ability to forgive. May we place our faith in Christ this Easter Season, as we remember the events leading up to his death on the cross for you and for me, may we recognize that this was foretold from the very beginning. He loves you and offers you redemption.

Meditation of Prayer:

Pray as directed by the Spirit.

Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him.

Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm:

I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials.
