April 17
Introduction
The religious leaders seek to put Jesus to death, and Judas agrees to betray Jesus. Jesus prepares to eat the Passover meal with his disciples, and he announces that his betrayer is at the table. The disciples argue as to who among them should be thought of as the greatest.
Today’s Scripture: Luke 22:27b (GNT)
[Jesus said:] “I am among you as one who serves.”
Today’s Reading
Luke 22:1-30
Reflect
Reread verses 17-20. In ancient Israel, the bond between God and Israel was ratified with the blood of a sacrificial animal (see Exodus 24:8). What is your understanding of Jesus’s words and his reference to “God’s new covenant” sealed with Jesus’s blood? What did Jesus say to the disciples when they began arguing?
Pray
Lord Jesus, with your own holy and precious blood you have sealed God’s new covenant with us. I thank and praise you for your sacrificial love. Grant me a servant’s heart and teach me to serve with humility in your kingdom. Amen.
Prayer Concern

Tomorrow’s Reading
