Welcome to Sligo. When I was a child, my parents taught me that before each meal I should pause and give thanks to my Heavenly Father for that which I was about to receive. I remember that it went something like this: “God is great, God is good, let us thank Him for our food. By His hands we all our fed, give us Lord our daily bread. Amen!” Although I still share a prayer before each meal, the language of my prayers have changed as I have matured in my walk with God. But regardless of the content of these prayers our objective should still be the same; to thank God for providing sustenance for the nourishment of our bodies. That being the case, then why would Jesus give thanks before he led his disciples in their final meal together? Remember this was no ordinary meal, but it represented the sacrifice that he would make for all of fallen humanity. With the cruel cross before him, what could Jesus really be thankful for? Today as we prepare to take part in this holy meal, we would do well to ask ourselves this same question.

• The Bible is the inspired word of God and our only rule of faith and practice. (2 Timothy 3:16, 17). • Jesus Christ is the Divine Son of God and our personal Savior from sin by grace through faith. (John 1:1-3; Ephesians 2:8). • Having been saved, followers of Jesus live in obedience to Him by observing the Ten Commandments. (Exodus 20: 1-17; John 14:15). • The Sabbath – the seventh day of the week- established by God at creation and honored by Jesus in His earthly ministry, is to be observed by the followers of Jesus. (Exodus 20:8-11; 1 Peter 2:21). • Jesus is coming back to earth personally and visibly to raise the righteous dead and give His faithful children of all ages immortality in an earth made new. (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; Revelation 22:12; 21:1-3). • Our love for God is demonstrated primarily by our love for our fellowmen. (1 John 4:20; Matthew 25:34-40).
