from The Story: After Judas left, Jesus gave the disciples a
glimpse of what was to come. He foreshadowed the fact that he was
going to be broken and poured out ---he was going to take humanity
s punishment for sin on himself. While they were eating, Jesus took
bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his
disciples, saying, Take and eat; this is my body. Then he took a
cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying,
Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which
is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I
will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that
day when I drink it new with you in my Father s kingdom. Jesus
warned his disciples that he would be with them only a little while
longer. He went on to comfort his confused followers. Do not let
your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My
Father s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have
told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I
go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be
with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the
place where I am going. Thomas said to him, Lord, we don t know
where you are going, so how can we know the way? Jesus answered, I
am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father
as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. "
