"Days Of Preparation" [Module#375] (Matt.26:17-19)
In Jesus’ time, Passover time, just like today,
Required that one had preps all done, so table laid
Would smoothly flow with ancient form and pattern sweet;
Christ sent His folks to prep the room, requirements meet.But He had worked ahead of time, not at the end –
He hired a colt, secured a room, arranged to send
Some messages to central folks there on the ground,
While He wrapped up His teaching-work and moved around.The chances are He did the feast two days ahead,
Then joined the lambs when they were killed, so He was dead
When time to sup with Jewish kin at time of feast;
His blood now sprinkled on the door not that of the beast.So Christ prepared a place for us on Kingdom-layer;
He, crowned as King, now Lord of life to Kingdom-players,
Bids us come up, protection find – like acetate
Between our lives and all the rest – come, do not wait.O Lord of life, as we move on in life with You,
Help us to feel Your shield of blood in place that’s new;
O Father-God, we thank You for Your gift of Christ;
And for this place, one step removed, allowing life.Thanks Lord for this.
