Day 6: Evidence of Grace
Passover is about to begin. Jesus sends Peter and John ahead to prepare the Passover meal. Jesus sits with them and looks at all of them. He tells them how glad He is to share the meal before he suffers. Jesus takes his cup and prays to God. As when He prayed over the bread and fish, He thanks God for the blessing of the fruit of the vine that God brings forth. He passes it to the nearest disciple and tells them all to drink it. Jesus reaches for a piece of bread and prays again. He thanks God for bringing bread from the earth and breaks it. He passes the two pieces to the disciples and claims that the bread represents His body that's given for them. They should eat and remember Him. The cup is still being passed around. Jesus says that the cup of wine is a new testament in His blood and it's shed for them.

ShareThen Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. And there was a man named Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector, who was very wealthy. He was trying to see who Jesus was, but could not see over the crowd because he was small in stature. So he ran on ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see Him, since Jesus was about to pass that way. When Jesus came to that place, He looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry down, for I must stay at your house today.” So Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed Him joyfully. And all who saw this began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinful man!” But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, half of my possessions I give to the poor, and if I have cheated anyone, I will repay it fourfold.” Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man too is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
