A Different Final Table

Our live poker schedule is different this week, for two very different reasons.

Tonight's Monday night trip to The Red Barn has been trumped, as our old college plays for the NCAA men's basketball championship.  We must focus on Kansas Jayhawks, as opposed to K-J's!

Thursday's walk to Lil Kim's Cove will be pre-empted by something much more important for us.  It's a Passover service, which on the Biblical calendar only comes once a year.

These are the Lord's appointed feasts, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times: The Lord's Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. - Exodus 23:4-5

Under unusual circumstances, it could be taken one month later (see II Chronicles 30:1-3 for an example of that).  Jesus joined His disciples in taking it less than 24 hours before His death -- in what Christianity has come to call the "Last Supper."

And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.  For I tell you I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes." - Luke 22:15-16

Perhaps it's better to call this event the Lord's Supper -- because if you'll notice carefully, Jesus promises to drink "the fruit of the vine" again someday.

Then the angel said to me, "Write: 'Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!'" And he added: "These are the true words of God." - Revelation 19:9

This great supper occurs after Jesus comes again, to bring the Kingdom of God fully to Earth.  By joining with Jesus at one "final table" for supper now, you could eventually be part of the other supper later.

If you'd like to know about the Passover meal and what is involved, let us know and we'll attempt to assist you.
