Maundy Thursday
On Maundy Thursday we commemorate the Last Supper and Jesus washing the disciples feet. It was not the last time He would see them or the last time He would eat with them. It was last time before His resurrection would reset time. He washed 12 pairs of feet. Two sets of them would walk away and betray and deny Him. Nine of them would fearfully stride into the shadows instead of standing with Him. Only one of them would stand at the foot of the cross during His agony. He knew what they would do but He knelt to wash their feet anyway. Why? Because He was not expecting their reciprocation or vindication. It is humbling beyond imagination to know that eventually “every knee will bow” at the feet of the One who was first to bow before these disillusioned disciples.
God is NOT a snob who requires us to get everything right before he’ll have anything to do with us.
His willingness to meet us where we are is crucial to his project of redeeming us.

Knowing that all was now complete, Jesus said. “I thirst.”
His bloodied lips were split and dry.
His throat parched and constricted,
He needed to moisten them to shout His final words from the cross in victory.
“It is finished!”
With that, He bowed His head and gave up His spirit,
(John 19:28)
Now it is for us, in our time to thirst after Him. ✝❤

Several BTJ supporters have been sharing about the Canadian pastor that was arrested for not shutting down his church.
Some compare it to persecution in China.
Other BTJ supporters argue what has happened to the pastor is not persecution, but is something different entirely.
What's what?
We talk to a pastor in China and ask his opinion.
His answer might ruffle some feathers.

This morning my husband and daughter witnessed A horrific event of a motorcycle being hit by a van. The couple literally flew off the bike!Quickly, we jumped out to help! my daughter immediately checked for injuries. After checking, it seems the lady may have a dislocated arm, broken leg and whiplash.the man seemed ok. Christina told them that she is a Christian, and asked if she could pray for them. They said yes, so she layed her hand on the lady and began to pray out loud.She prayed for peace, healing, thanksgiving and prayed for them to find a more precious meaning for their life. As she left, she told them she loved them.
It is not coincidence that we were there at that exact moment in time to help.
It was not coincidence that she could relate to them and show sympathy - because she herself was hit on a motorbike with her little brother!
So we truly believe that today IS A link in a chain in their lives - which will lead them to Salvation.Will you stop and pray for them?
NEW RELEASE: COURAGE TO STAND IN THIS GLORIOUS HARVEST!

Pray for the North Korean Christians who choose to stay against all odds to love Jesus and their Korean neighbors in the hope of leading them to Jesus. Persecution fuels the spread of the gospel. Holy Spirit is the fire that spreads hope and courage in those persecuted hearts for that gospel. Don’t just ask for courage for them, impart it with faith hope and love in the minds of all those willing to receive it. If you believe.... watch out! Anything can happen with Him.
