The Last Supper

Origin
The New Testament

Story
The story of the last supper has been told a million times. It is even the subject of a famous painting! So, do you want to know what happened at the last supper?
Jesus, the Son of God, knew that his time as a mortal was nearly over. His job on earth was nearing completion. But there was yet some work to do. He knew that his final gift to mankind would be his death on the cross.

But before that, he had a few more things to share. So, on his last night alive, he called his apostles for the last supper. He spent the evening sharing his wisdom and knowledge because now it would be up to the apostles to spread the word of God.

Then Jesus got down on his knees and washed their feet. This was a teaching on how to treat each other once Jesus was gone.

Then all of them sat down for supper. Jesus shared food and drinks with them. He told the apostles that they must remember him whenever they had their supper.
As they were eating their supper, Jesus told his friends that one of the 12 apostles would betray him. Though Jesus knew that it was Judas who would betray him, he did not confront him because he knew that it was all God’s plan.

Soon Judas left the table on some pretense and returned with soldiers to arrest Jesus. Peter tried to protect him, but Jesus told him not to. He knew that it was time for the final sacrifice.

Lesson
Love even those who betray you for they too are doing God’s work.
