Sometimes it is hard to do this, to put on love. We are told to hate the sin, but to embrace the sinner made in the creator's image. How difficult is this, when the iniquity of pride is celebrated by our world. Sometimes it is hard to do this, to be patient, when all is crumbling in our midst, when we are told that ungodliness is beautiful and our creator is prone to mistakes. We are told to let peace enter our hearts, in these times. Not just any peace, but His. Sometimes it is hard to do this, to let God's word enlighten wisdom in the depths of our souls, when daily the world slanders the giver of good things and spits at the base of His son's cross. copyright 2024 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author

The Last Supper (1325-1330) - Ugolino da Siena Dine with us. Celebrate the night when lamb's blood was wiped on the doorpost. You'll not share another like this. The physical law has become a spiritual grace. We come to the upper room where everything is prepared. Blood of one perfect lamb becomes the wine of another. A sacrifice bringing life to you. Hold the bread in your hands for one moment. It is the flesh that will nourish your spirit. A covenant offered. Come and sit. Dine with us. Embrace what you are freely given. The pain of days to come will blend into joy. Cries made to Heaven for what has been lost will become shouts of rejoicing eternal. copyright 2024 - Donald P James Je https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author

He sat back at the table after washing our feet.  Everything He did had purpose. "Do you understand what I have just done?" He asked. A few of us nodded as if we understood.  None of us really did.  He was always teaching us things about the way we should conduct ourselves as believers.  He was our teacher and our Lord.  I still felt a little strange about Him washing my soiled feet.  I shrugged my shoulders in response to His question.  I saw John turn toward Him with a questioning expression on His face.  If John did not understand, how could any of us. "You are right to call me your teacher and your Lord, because I am.  You have walked beside me for three years now.  I have shared much with you.  I have given you an example of how you should treat each other.  No servant is greater than his master.  No messenger is greater than the one whose message he delivers.  I have served you, as you will serve each othe...

Come to the upper room. The bread of His suffering is laid out on the table. The wine of your joy       is poured out for all. Come and sit by Him. Bring your denials and your betrayals. Bring all that you are and all that you strive to be. Come to the upper room. This bread of the Passover is broken for you. Its substance has taken you from the land of slavery  to a land of plenty. Come and sit by Him. Share this bread of a new promise. Share this bread of His being. Broken, for all who are called to be children of His father. copyright 1995 - Donald P James Jr  https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author

Gather around my wooden table rest yourselves upon my floor those of you with initials carved who would enter through my door. All deniers and betrayers open your hearts share my bread it is offered from my flesh wheat of living and of dead. Gather around this wooden table Judas, Peter, James and John those of you who know my name hold tightly these unbroken bonds. On this vine I bleed for you again I will not taste its wine until I drink it next to you in a promised place a joyful time. Just sit with me at the end of this day before you deny before betray, my dying will save you though now you don't understand. copyright 1991 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author
