Holy Week | Day 4: The Last Supper
Teaching:
“Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.”
— John 13:1
Jesus didn’t demand worship.
He didn’t bark orders from a throne.
He wrapped a towel around His waist and knelt to serve.
The Last Supper was not just a meal—it was a declaration.
A declaration of love, humility, and covenant.
Jesus knew Judas had already made the deal.
He knew the cross was closer than the dawn.
And still, He broke bread with broken men.
He washed the feet of His betrayer.
He shared wine with the one who would deny Him.
He offered communion to the very ones who would fall asleep in His greatest hour of need.
This is the kind of love that changes everything.
This is the kind of King we follow.
“If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet;
ye also ought to wash one another's feet.”
— John 13:14
Reflection:
Ask yourself today:
Am I willing to stoop low to serve others—even those who hurt me?
Do I lead with a towel in hand, or do I seek a title first?
Do I truly remember what Jesus has done for me?
Jesus didn’t just give communion—He became communion.
His body broken.
His blood poured out.
All for you.
If you’re able today, take Communion and remember.
If not, eat a simple meal in His honor.
Let the table remind you of the towel.
Let the bread and cup remind you of the cross.
Action:
Read John 13 and Matthew 26:17–30 slowly.
Ask the Lord to reveal areas of pride, and offer them up.
Choose a way to serve someone today in humility.
If possible, share Communion or eat a meal to honor Him.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, You could have ruled from a throne, but You knelt to wash feet.
You chose humility when You deserved honor.
Help me do the same.
Teach me to lead like You—with love, with sacrifice, with a servant’s heart.
I remember Your body broken, Your blood poured out, and I give You thanks.
Let my life be lived in response. Amen.
