Text for the Day -- Mark 14:12-16
----------
On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is
sacrificed, his disciples said to him, 'Where do you want us to go
and make the preparations for you to eat the Passover?' So he sent
two of his disciples, saying to them, 'Go into the city, and a man
carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him, and wherever he
enters, say to the owner of the house, "The Teacher asks, Where is my
guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?" He will
show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make
preparations for us there.' So the disciples set out and went to the
city, and found everything as he had told them; and they prepared the
Passover meal.

----------
Christianity is an extension of Judaism. Christianity has its roots
in what God did in Israel's life. Central to those acts was the
Exodus and the Passover meal. Jesus was faithful to celebrate
Passover. As he proceeded to his death on the cross the Passover
became a new meal centered in Jesus saving death on the cross,
through which became Christianity's symbol of God's salvation and
freedom.
Prayer
---------------
God, thank you for the meal of celebration that sustains us in your
freedom. Amen
