Today’s Scripture: Matthew 26:29
[Jesus said:] “I tell you, I will never again drink this wine until the day I drink the new wine with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”

Matthew 26:1-35
Reflect
Reread verses 26-30. In sharing the Passover meal with his disciples, Jesus uses bread and wine to represent God’s covenant of forgiveness. What does participating in the Lord’s Supper mean to you? How do you understand and experience the mystery of God’s grace in your life?
Pray
Holy God, help me to understand the mysteries of your love and grace. Empower me to put my faith into action. Amen.
Prayer Concern
