"Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before Passover to purify themselves. They looked for Jesus and said to one another as they were in the temple area, "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?" John 11:55-56
What was God's purpose for Jesus to be crucified in the middle of the Passover celebrations ? Do we celebrate the Passover feast today? I am sure those that are Jewish do but what about the rest of us? God never does anything by chance, why was Jesus crucified that week? ""Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill." Matthew 5:17. So Jesus doesn't want us to stop celebrating the Passover meal, He came to fulfill it. The perfect spotless lamb for our sacrificial offering. How do we do that today? Question. Is it a feast if Jesus isn't there?
Dear Heavenly Father prepare me for the feast to be with Jesus. Help me see what I can not see. Help me perceive what You see. May I live in peace the whole day thru reflecting upon Your word. Renew Your creation and make me new every time I receive You into Your temple. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. Prayers for those who feel alone, bless them Lord with Your chosen one. Prayers for those preparing for the first sacrificial offering and coming into communion with You. Help each of us see the beautiful choices You have given us. I ask this through Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Amen.
Mary, Mother Most Holy, pray for us.
