Passover Eaten, Jealousy Rebuked
Spring A. D. 30
Thursday P.M.
Jerusalem
It almost sounds like Jesus is here having a party out of a desire to have an enjoyable time; a last time with his special circle of friends before what even to him, being God, will be a long time of separation.
He will be with them in spirit and on call through prayer at all times till the Wedding Supper but it seems as if he will miss being in bodily presence with them.
What about his return and the thousand year reign on earth? That doesn't seem to figure in. No doubt because he will be here then but the apostles will be long gone to Abraham's bosom.
Strange how the jealousy thing keeps coming up.

Luk 22:14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.Luk 22:15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:Luk 22:16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
Luk 22:24 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.Luk 22:25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.Luk 22:26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.Luk 22:27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.Luk 22:28 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.Luk 22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;Luk 22:30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
