Thursday: The Upper Room, Garden and Betrayal
• Scott Stem • Series: Easter Weekend
In the hours before His crucifixion, Jesus shared His final Passover meal with the disciples, revealing profound truths about betrayal, humility, and submission to God's will. During this intimate gathering, He announced His coming betrayal, demonstrating extraordinary love by sharing the meal with Judas. Later in Gethsemane, Jesus experienced intense emotional struggle yet ultimately submitted to God's plan. This pivotal moment teaches us about honest prayer, trusting God's control, and responding to challenges with Christ-like patience rather than defensive reactions.
