Thursday: The Last Supper/Betrayal
Jesus washed his apostles feet: John 13:3-17. Can you imagine Jesus Christ washing your feet? Incredible.
"If ye then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet."
"For I have given you an example that ye should do as I have done unto you."
Jesus administer the sacrament: Matthew 26:26-29
It feels so right to belong to a church where we do the same thing, every week to remember the sacrifice of our Savior Jesus Christ.
Closing hymn and prayer: John 17
Then they go to Gethsemane. (Matthew 26, Mark 14, Luke 22)
"Pray ye that ye enter not into temptation".
"Began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy."
"My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death tarry ye here, and watch with me."
"And he went a little further and fell on his face and prayed."
"Oh my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done."
Three times.
Third time: "There appeared an angel from heaven strengthening Him."
"And being in agony he prayed more earnestly."
"Christ's agony in the garden is unfathomable by the finite mind, both as to intensity and cause. He struggled and groaned under a burned such as no other being who has lived on earth might even conceive as possible. It was not physical pain, nor mental anguish alone, that caused Him to suffer such torture as to produce an extrusion of blood from every poor but a spiritual agony of soul such as only God was capable of experiencing. In that hour of anguish Christ met and overcame all the horrors that Satan could inflict."
"The Savior took upon Himself the burden of the sins of mankind from Adam to the end of the world."
-James E. Talmage
He is then betrayed and arrested.
