Scripture: Mark 14:18 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.
Observation: In this chapter, we see Jesus establishing what we today call communion. However, before he establishes communion with the disciples, he must first deal with the sin in the room. One of his disciples has fallen to "The Love of Money", and is soon to betray Jesus for money.
Application: As the Apostle Paul articulates in 1 Cor 11:27-30, we should not partake of communion when we have known sin that we have not been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ. 1 John 1:9 says"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleans us from all unrightousness". This is the way to prepare for communion, and for any other day or hour in this life. When we accept the forgiveness of Jesus Christ, we are clean and ready to fellowship with him. Jesus died for our sins, past, present and future. Let us accept his life, and dedicate our life to him.
Prayer: Dear Jesus, thank you for you love. Thank you that you loved us enough to lay down your life for ours. Let us never consider lightly what you have done for us. Let our lives be dedicated to you this day, and every day, in your precious name.
