This is Thursday of ‘holy week’, sometimes called “Maundy Thursday”, in honor of the agony and suffering of Jesus on that Thursday of the Passover weekend, which changed the world. In the upper room with agony, Jesus identified both His betrayer and denier; then He sweat drops of blood in the garden of Gethsemane as He prayed. Then His humiliating arrest; His abandonment by His disciples; His trials and beatings, all of which occurred from sundown Thursday until shortly after dawn on Friday morning. We’ve spent the past two days on Golgotha hill, watching the crucifixion of Jesus and listening to the last words He spoke before He died. A person’s last words are often very significant.
