II Corinthians 4 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.



If you will give Me your life I will make something beautiful out of it.

The Place Prepared


Matthew 26 Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus saying, Where will You have us prepare for You to eat the Passover? He said, Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, The Teacher says, My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.

Will you be prepared to serve Him when He calls you with a need?

What an awesome honor. The God of all the universe, the Messiah of the entire world, the Lord of Hosts, needs a place in your home to rest and have His last meal with His friends before He suffers. For you. For me.

One last peaceful meal. One last chance to share His heart. One last happy memory to sustain the Lamb of God through the torture to come. The wine. The bread. And the cup of suffering. Before the agony of the cross.

Who was this man who held a room in preparation for the Son of God. A place prepared. Waiting for the time when it's Master would have need of it. A common room. An uncommon purpose.

My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house.

The last time that the Passover Lamb would need to be sacrificed for the sin of the people. This time it would finally be sufficient to pay the debt. A perfect Lamb. Without spot or blemish. Pleasing and acceptable to the Father.

Do you have a place in your life that is prepared for your Master? Is it clean and swept and ready for his use? Is it waiting for the time when He will have need of it?

He is calling to us. He is calling to you.

Do you have the room prepared?
