As this Lenten season is coming to a close, we reach a pinnacle with Holy Week. Tonight we’ll be attending our Maundy Thursday service. It’s one of my favorite celebrations, even in light of its somber memory.
As Christ gathered with His disciples to celebrate the Passover, which would be the Last Supper, He instituted the Lords Supper. It is so humbling to imagine the feelings Christ experienced that evening, for us. He could not imagine an existence without us, and therefore He died and atoned for us.
Hebrews 9:22 sums it up so beautifully, “ Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness”.
Christ knew that. He knew it when the Israelites were instructed to cover their doorways with the shed blood of a lamb. He knew it as He was facing His crucifixion. And He knew it when He commanded His disciples, and thereby every other believer, to partake in Holy Communion in remembrance of Him, His life and death, His blood and sacrifice, His RESURRECTION, and that His blood alone atones for our sins.
Sola Scriptura
Sola Fide
Sola Gratia
Solus Christus
Soli Deo Gloria
May we praise God and repent on this Maundy Thursday ✝️💜

You have said it all! Though I am late catching up and reading your posts, you are right on the nose…everything is Christ and His resurrection, His seat at the right hand of the Father. Necessary, and sufficient. Praise God!
